The Opposite

By Lizzy M

If the world was the opposite,
It wouldn’t be fun!
The hot dog man would only
sell the bun!

The force of gravity,
would be all mixed ‘round.
With people in the air,
And birds on the ground!

Cows would go oink,
Pigs would go moo.
And on their heads,
People would wear a shoe!

Babies would push strollers,
Moving swings would stop
And teeters would totter
With nobody on top

The flowers would smell
With an odor that’s bad
And the garbage
Like the flowers had!

That’s why it wouldn’t
ever be fun.
If the opposite was the way
the world was run.
