Nonsensical

Wrong is right and right is wrong. Long is short and short is long. Black is white and white is black. Toilet paper we may lack. All is zero. Zero’s all. There’s no writing on the wall. Down is up and up is down. The scientist is now a clown. Toes need hands and hands need feet. Siberia does not need heat. Cold is hot and hot is cold. The old are young; the young are old. Kitties bark and dogs meow. There is no need of money now. In shadows, shine. In sunlight, lurk. He who works hard is a jerk. Harsh noises blind, and snow storms burn. No child is left behind. All learn! Illogic see and reason lose. Never have to pay your dues! Dead’s alive; alive is dead. To sleep well, do not go to bed! Straight is crooked; Crooked’s straight. Does heaven even have a gate? Hell is heaven; heaven’s hell. All humanity is well. Light is dark and dark is light. Peaceful earthlings like to fight. The rich are poor; the poor have riches. Politics leave us in stiches. Night is day and day is night. Right is wrong and wrong is right. Sept. 11, 2021 For the Nonsense Rhyme Poetry Contest of charles messina Now for 'A BRIAN STRAND 1093' Poetry Contest

Though nonsensical, there are so many wisdom verses in your poem. No child is left behind. All learn!" Ironies are many. "He who works hard is a jerk", "Straight is crooked; Crooked’s straight". - A great work! Congratulations!

The absolutely HORRIBLE NEWS is that what you've written sounds absolutely NORMAL now, thanks to Feckless Joe and Creepy Kamala, to Wicked Nancy and Cowardly Chuck, and to the Sick Members of the Squad... Oh, the world is chasing the crazy rabbit, and I'm late for a Mad Tea Party. ~ Gershon
