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

Exploring the world of ideas through books
Because a community is more than just people
Some of this. And some of that.

Book reviews, poetry and all kinds of literary fun
The nail is driven?
driven crazy?
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
Calm
grove does no
harm
even his curses
are verses
Sounds a bit like Ogden Nash.

Thanks, Leslie, maybe that’s a distant influence, though the immediate inspiration was Gert’s wonky universe | inaverse.
Classic Ogden Nash to me….
Thanks for making me laugh! It’s just what I needed.
