opposites

Got up this morning just to find,
the sun was dark and blue.
I had to go to school today,
because I had the flu.

My dog meowed, my kitty squeaked,
my mouse let off a roar.
I realized my feet were on
the ceiling not the floor.

Mom asked for my permission,
Dad asked for my advice.
My sister was considerate,
not only once, but twice.

I heard a very funny joke,
that made me sad and tearful.
But when I fell and skinned my knee,
I felt so glad and cheerful.

I have to go to bed because,
it is now broad daylight,
then wake up fresh and lively,
in the middle of the night.

I’m not sure what is happening,
things are not as they seem.
My eyes are open, I’m awake
and yet I’m in a dream.

    This reminds me of the Dr. Suess book “Wacky Wednesday.” It is along the same lines of everything being backwards or out of sorts. Great stuff!

    The poem is as good as the sketch. I can see this being used to teach children the concept of opposites. Wonderful.

  7. Awesome!!! I agree with Roberta… You have to put that talent on paper, make a book and print millions of copies!
