Upside Down McGee

by

Andrew O. Leskinen

Upside Down McGee had a serious problem you see

For every time he spoke his words would come out

Upside down for the whole world to see

He tried standing on his head

And the words came out right side up

But were so low to the ground

That everyone had to stoop down

To see what he had to say

He tried tilting his head

But his words just ran out, and down,

And finally fell to the ground

Then one morning, looking in the mirror

As he prepared to begin another day

Upside Down McGee came upon the perfect solution

For there in the mirror

His right was left, his left was right

So then it only stood to reason

That if the mirror were upside down

Top would be bottom,

Bottom would be top

Right side up, would be upside down

Upside down, would be right side up

And so he tallied forth

A mirror forever in his pocket

And when it came time for him to speak,

Upside Down McGee would turn his back,

Pull out his mirror, turn it upside down,

And all behind could finally see

What Upside Down McGee had to say
