For Jessica
by Ian Curtress
If oranges grew on
apple trees
And apples grew on pears
And bananas grew on plum trees
Would bungalows have stairs
If cats barked like Labradors
And oranges had no pips
If monkeys liked lollipops
Would Christmas pudding taste like chips
If the roof was in the basement
And the garden in the house
If lions had stripes like tigers
Would an elephant be smaller than a mouse
If Monday was on Friday
And Wednesday my day off
And if I ran a marathon
Would I get a nasty cough
If I didn’t go to bed
And my daytime was my night
And if I now walked upside down
Would my left become my right |
