T

is for Topsy-Turvy.

It is Tuesday. Mr. Banks Tears Through The house like a Tempest.

“Why is my Tobacco Tin Topped-up with Toffee? Who Tied my Tartan Tie round The Toast?”

No one can Tell him.

Nothing is Turning out right This morning. Tapioca in The Teapot and The Teapot out on The Terrace. Trousers in The soup Tureen. Tomatoes Tasting of Tar.

“Tush, it’s a Trifle,” says Mary Poppins. “Never Trouble Trouble! If Today is a Tiny bit Topsy-Turvy. we must Treat The whole Thing Tactfully and Turn Topsy-Turvy. Too.”

So. Taking up her Tulip-Trimmed hat, she Twirls Through The air like a spinning Top and lands Triumphantly on her head. Tidy and Totally Tranquil.

“Take your Time. Don’t Teeter or Totter. Try To do as you are Told!”

“What a sensible Trick.” the children say, as They Tumble Through The room Together and land on The Turkey carpet. “It is True what you Taught us. Mary Poppins. Everything seems Transformed.”

“To Turn with The Tide,” says Mary Poppins, “is To Take a Turn for The better. May I Tempt you with a Tangerine and a Topsy-Turvy Tart?”
