Weird
I popped into Weird when out walking today
A strange sort of place that's not too far away
You'll find it in shadows look hard it's quite dim
A beckoning finger will welcome you in
There's a warp-curtain wall where a threshold
Appears, you may pass through a tea shop before
You reach Weird. But it's there nonetheless your
Journey's worthwhile, you'll be met by a yodelling
Foot-tapping child
You'll go through reception and into review where
They may take some upside down pictures of you
Please don't comb your hair or adjust your aplomb
There's no need for that the lens cap’s still on
There's so much to see and so much to do, there’s
A trip round a plant that makes conjugal glue
You'll be taken to see all the strange things and
More, like a sunset at three and another at four
If that's not enough well pray come take a look
A doll's head in a handbag is driving a bus, and
While we've been chatting there's music on hand
From the strings of a corset once owned by Chopin
