You Should've Seen Me

Published by Family Friend Poems November 2022 with permission of the Author.

I woke up one morning
completely upside down.
You should’ve seen me
putting on my dressing gown.

I woke up the next morning
completely inside out.
You should’ve seen me
flopping around my house.

I woke up the next morning
completely back to front.
You should’ve seen me
trying to eat my lunch.

I woke up the next morning
completely made of sand.
You should’ve seen me
washing both my hands.

I woke up the next morning
completely normally.
You should have seen me
as bored as could be.
