This is the world of to and fro,
Where black's the new white,
And stop’s the new go,
Where day’s the new night,
And yes the new no,
Where dawn’s become dusk,
And high became low.

This is the world of hit and run,
Where slow became fast,
And fast became fun,
Where far became near,
And near far flung,
Where everything’s possible,
And impossible’s done.

I found this intriguing. A lovely rhythm and rhyme, rollicking as a child would enjoy it. I couldn't decide it if was meant to be teasing nonsense for a child to feel, oh, I'm glad things really are normal!; or a sort of comment on our world of fast transport and communication linkages, and 24 hour working, and the Bible phrase about people calling 'evil good and good evil'.
