Village Upside Down
Greetings from a Village Upside Down!
Once again the Deep Freeze team has pulled off a successful winter family festival on Alberta Avenue. Word is that roughly 40,000 people were in attendance. A record!
This year, the wily, creative Deep Freeze family festival team came up with the theme “Village Upside Down.” Here are my thoughts on that.
Village Upside Down
Come inside this house so rare
enter by the attic stair
Trees stand
roots up in the air
Hatred becomes love
everywhere
In our village upside down.
Our mayor
when he is able
holds court atop the council table.
Tails wagging down and up
Oceans fit into a cup
In our village upside down.
The town clock strikes midnight at twelve noon
sounding so eerily out of tune
while children play ‘neath a silvery moon
In our village upside down.
Bard of the Avenue
