the woman from tippy toppy world

a woman lived in a tippy toppy world.
went by the plain name of old Gerald.
her husband's name was Hannah,
and had a son called Susanna.

she would butter her jam,
and eat her toast with grainy sand.
she put her knickers on her toes,
and wore her shoes on her nose.

everyone walked on their hands,
upon the tippy toppy lands,
a place where the sky was colour of red,
and the trees were made from cornbread.
