The Reversed Spectacles

Today as I got up and climbed down the stairs Suddenly I tripped, and went upside down Received minor bruises, some splits in my hair But what’s more important, I looked like a clown Suddenly I noticed all the world gone crazy Men looked like kids and kids went busy In patting their own backs, and sneering at others While adults fought over candies and snatching their brothers’ Young ladies basked in neck-ties and collars They had their curves flattened using road rollers Meanwhile their boyfriends sported latest bikini range Why belles didn't leer at them, they found it strange Traders rushed madly to pay up their taxes Celebs attending funerals, their tears ran excess I rightfully felt aghast, because all a nightmare I put off my specs, and that gave me a scare My specs were downwards up, looked incisively hopeless To set its focus rightly in this urban wilderness.

Whoa! Now that, my friend, is a crazy ride, lol. I smiled some, and yet, is it at all possible? ;) Thanks for the smile.

Thanks, pal, i am glad it gave you a moment's smile. Look through the reversed specs of sarcasm, and it's all possible. Thanks again
