This door is alarmed
the window’s shattered
the roof’s as high as a kite
the walls are staggered
the fence takes offence
the footpath’s flat broke
the streets are a-mazed
the city’s dist-urbed
the continents are adrift
the world is a worldwind
that’s our wonky universe
inaverse

I’m not averse
To controversial
Thoughts
Quite the reverse
Diverse thoughts
Even perverse thoughts
Can be a diversion
From overt reality
But when I observe conversation
Becoming confrontation
And worse
That’s the obverse
Of the coin
And I curse in frustration
Or turn to verse

Thanks, Leslie, maybe that’s a distant influence, though the immediate inspiration was Gert’s wonky universe | inaverse.
