Magic Beans
I found some strange multi coloured beans
And planted them in well turned soil
With care I watered them and pulled weeds
yet after a month not one single shoot.
I had cause to go down in my cellar
looking for some tools and to my amazement
it was full of leaves and flowers
These strange plants grew under ground.
Down, still further down they went
so I climbed down and down
At last I reached the bottom
and all was upside down.
A vast land where all walked upside down
yes folks, they were walking on their heads
some birds too flying upside down
My head reeled and I climbed back up.
I decided not to venture there again
after all there is enough weirdness up here
to last me several life times
so no gold or giants just an upside down world
