The Quizzles sang songs.
They rhymed all their rhymes
And banged on their gongs.
Quizzles ask questions,
They ask them a lot.
They ask who is who
Then ask what is what
Fleegles aren’t Quizzles,
They don’t smile much.
They’re a bit snobbish
And cranky and such
Their habits are strange,
They stand on their heads.
Then they sleep backwards
When they’re in their beds
Fadley the Fleegle,
A not so nice chum,
Laughed at the Quizzles
And called them all dumb.
“I live upside down,
It’s just what I do.
It makes me better
And smarter than you.”
A Quizzle named Quink,
A very smart chap,
Listened, then put on
His new thinking cap.
“If I stand on my head;
Flip up on my crown,
Then down will be up
And up will be down.
“I’ll be just like you
There won’t be a doubt;
My head to the ground
And toes pointed out.”
Then Fadley got mad;
His face turned bright pink.
He fussed and he yelled;
He created a stink.
He stomped and he cried,
“You’ll stand on your feet.
Don’t do what I do.
You’re just not that neat.”
Quink flipped right over,
His head in the dust,
“I’ll do what you do,
I just simply must.
“If you’re up or your down,
Or you wear pink or green;
That won’t make you neat.
You see what I mean?
“What’s in your insides;
And what you can’t see,
Is what really counts,
And what you will be.”
Fadley tried smiling,
But it looked like a frown.
He nearly forgot
He was upside down.
“You might be right, Quink.
I’ve not been too nice.
I’ll stand on my feet
Why, I’ll do it twice.”
Fadley flipped over,
And up his head went.
His feet hit the ground;
They touched the cement.
Now Fadley was up,
And Quink was still down.
They laughed and they laughed
‘Til they thought they’d drown.
Quink questioned Fadley,
“Who’s up and who’s down?
It doesn’t matter.
We’ve turned things around.”
Fadley was happy,
It showed on his face,
They made Quizzletown
A happier place.
