The Upside Down Blues
There once was a Place
All golden and new
Where down became up
And false became true
The trees weren’t greeny
Nor the clouds puffy white
The air was not airy
Something just wasn’t right.
No one knows when it started
Or when it would end,
This upside down madness
That felt like a trend
Night became day and
Day became night
This upside down Place
Where things weren’t right.
In the upside down Place lived
The Green and the Blue
Who started out friendly
As friendly would do
But then it just happened
Like a raged Hurricane
A Most- Terrible- Awful
And a tsunami of pain
It thrashed and it boiled
It reared and it roared
This Most -Terrible- Awful
Would not be ignored.
And it got even badder
Then badder could be
In this upside down Place
Seems that not all were free.
The Greens screamed and
They marched
Some by River some by Sea
They threw away the facts
Where facts should all be
The mob got all mobbier
They took to the streets
They shouted in schools
And marched out in fleets
“We want the Blues gone
We don’t care where they’ll go
This upside down Place
Wants you gone, don’t you know?!”
The Blues then got busy
Defending their name
Though some Blues turned
Greeny from Anti- Blue shame.
Some Blues got more Bluish
Than ever before
The Most- Terrible -Awful
Shook them right to their core.
The Blues worked together
In such a short span
Collecting and sending
As only Blues can
Some Blues jumped on planes
To a Major Blue Space
Where being True Blue
Was the point of this Place
And some Blues they stayed put
To ride out The Wave
“We’ve seen this before..
Greens will start to behave.”
How the story is ending
Is anyone’s guess
It’s so hard to see endings
When all is a mess
If we could just blend
All our brilliant shades of Blue
Upside down might be flipped
For our V’Nahafochu
