Subject: The World Turned Upside Down

E-mail:

This march was played by the British when they marched out of Yorktown to surrender to Washington’s army in 1781. So I find these lyrics rather fitting . . .

If buttercups buzz’d after the bee,

If boats were on land, churches on sea,

If ponies rode men and if grass ate the cows,

And cats should be chased into holes by the mouse,

If the mamas sold their babies

To the gypsies for half a crown;

If summer were spring and the other way round,

Then all the world would be upside down.
