Farewell to the bewilderness.
Adieu, adieu, all is amiss
For east is west and north is south
And urgent speech pours from the mouth.
The woman living in a shoe
Proved one and one unequalled two;
The children when accused denied
For every one was called aside.
Bombarded with diversity,
With every living oddity,
The fox lies curled at side of train.
What falls is fire, not sheets of rain.
The thinker's head with stony eyes
Surveys when tilted skyward skies.
