A Funny Man By Natalie Joan

One day a funny kind of man
Came walking down this street
He wore a shoe upon his head
And hats upon his feet.

He raised the shoe and smiled at me,
His manners were polite;
But never had I seen before
Such a funny sounding sight.

He said, “Allow me to present
Your Highness with a rose.”
And taking out a currant bun
He held it to my nose.

I staggered back against the wall
And then I answered, “Well!
I never saw a rose with such
A funny looking smell.”

He then began to sing a song,
And sat down on the ground;
You never heard in all your life
Such a funny feeling sound.

“My friend, why do you wear two hats
Upon your feet?” I said.
He turned the other way about,
And hopped home on his head.
