Backwards Poems

Backward Bill

Poem by Shel Silverstein

The Folk Who Live In Backward Town

Poem by Mary Ann Hoberman

The folk who live in Backward Town
Are inside out and upside down.
They wear their hats inside their heads
And go to sleep beneath their beds.
They only eat the apple peeling
And take their walks across the ceiling.
