The other night, from cares exempt,

I slept – and what d’you think I dreamt?

I dreamt that somehow I had come

To dwell in Topsy-Turveydom! –

Where vice is virtue – virtue, vice:

Where nice is nasty – nasty, nice:

When right is wrong and wrong is right –

Where white is black and black is white.

(Gilbert – My Dreams)
