14. NATALIE MERCHANT – Topsyturvey-World
Album: Leave Your Sleep (2010)
If the butterfly courted the bee,
And the owl the porcupine;
If churches were built in the sea,
And three times one was nine;
If the pony rode his master,
If the buttercups ate the cows,
If the cat had the dire disaster
To be worried by the mouse;
If mama sold the baby
To a gypsy for half-a-crown;
If a gentleman was a lady,-
The world would be upside-down!
If any or all of these wonders
Should ever come about,
I should not consider them blunders
For I should be inside-out.
William Brighty Rands (1823 – 1882)
