There once was a man
who lived upside-down.
And people in his town
called him a silly clown.
He walked on his hands
with his hat on his feet.
It was a funny sight as
he “strolled” in the streets.
He’d sit down to eat in a
manner that was peculiar
with his head on the chair
and both his legs in the air.
As if this was not enough,
he spoke in a weird tongue
in which all of his words
were backwards strung.
So in the market, as he said,
“Lard of pound a need I!”,
he ended up getting punched
and a pair of black eyes.
And there was that day too
when he asked a pretty lass,
“Please me with dance you would?”
What do you think she did next?
The girl frowned, and well,
she whacked him on his head,
and then off she quickly fled
after calling him ill-bred!!!
Then, one wet, rainy evening
while “walking” up the hill,
he slipped and came rolling
down like the ball in skittles.
His head hit a hard rock,
and in a hospital he woke,
but in a miracle of sorts,
he had been fully cured.
So this is the end of the story
of the strangest man in town.
He now makes people happy,
in the circus, as a clown.
