    Upside-Down   Once there lived an Upside-Down Who was the talk of all the town. If he was told to turn to right He turned to left out of spite. If he went sailing in a boat   No one could make him understand Why he seem to be afloat   And what had happened to the land.   He read his letters backside-fore, And wrote his letters backside-fore. So if a “ton” was to be read He read it “not,” the dunnder-head!     All his life he was afraid   To cross a bridge. He’d always wade   (Unless the water was too deep   Or the embankment was too steep.)   He went into a restaurant; The waiter said, “What do you want?” He said, “I’d like a pair of socks                    With clocks on them, and in a box.”     The circus came to town one day;   Of course he went without delay.   And everyone said Upside-Down   Was funnier than the circus clown.   Just yesterday the postman brought A letter to him from his aunt: “Shall I read it?

  Fear      -   Gabriela Mistral I don’t want them to turn my little girl into a swallow. She would fly far away into the sky And never fly again to my straw bed or she would nest in the eaves                 5    Where I could not comb her hair. I don’t want them to turn my little girl into a swallow.   I don’t want them to make my little girl a princess.                       10 In tiny golden slippers how could she play on the meadow? And when night came, no longer would she sleep at my side. I don’t want them to make                       15 my little girl a princess.   And even less do I want them one day to make her queen. They would put her on a throne where I could not go to see her.                 20 And when nighttime came I could never rock her … I don’t want them to make my little girl a queen!   Gabriela Mistral Lucila Godoy Alcayaga known as Gabriela Mistral.

          (Father)   It’s not time to make a change, Just relax, take it easy. You’re still young, that’s your fault, There’s so much you have to know Find a girl, settle down, If you want you can marry. Look at me, I am old, but I’m happy.   I was once like you are now, and I know that it’s not easy,   To be calm when you’ve found something going on. But take your time, think a lot,   Why, think of everything you’ve got.   For you will still be here tomorrow, but your dreams may not.                          (Son)   How can I try to explain, cause when I do he turns away again.   It’s always been the same, same old story. From the moment I could talk I was ordered to listen. Now there’s a way and I know that I have to go away. I know I have to go.                         (Father)   It’s not time to make a change,   Just sit down, take it slowly. You’re still young, that’s your fault, There’s so much you have to go through.   Find a girl, set

The Earthen Goblet -     Harindranath Chattopadhyaya   O silent goblet Red from head to heel, How did you feel When you were being twirled Upon the Potter’s wheel Before the Potter gave you to the world?   ‘I felt a conscious impulse in my clay To break away From the great Potter’s hand that burned so warm.   I felt vast Feeling of sorrow to be cast   Into my present form.   Before that fatal hour That saw me captive on the Potter’s wheel And cast into this crimson goblet-sleep,   I used to feel The fragrant friendship of a little flower Whose root was in my bosom buried deep.   The Potter has drawn out the living breath of me And given me a form which is the death of me. My past unshapely natural state was best With just one flower flaming through my breast.’   Harindra Nath Chattopadhyaya        He was born on 2 nd April 1898, He was an Indian English poet, a dramatist an actor, a musician and a member of the 1 st Lok Saba from Vijawada con
