The poet challenges the customary way of speaking.

People normally say things in a specific order,

But it is not incorrect to say them vice versa

Whether they are idiomatic expressions or not

 

Here are some examples to consider:

Butter and bread instead of bread and butter

Night and day instead of day and night

Women and men instead of men and women

Peas and rice instead of rice and peas

Cheese and bun instead of bun and cheese

Eve and Adam instead of Adam and Eve

White and black instead of black and white

Mrs. and Mr. instead of Mr. and Mrs.

Gold and silver instead of silver and gold

Water and soap instead of soap and water

Cold and hot instead of hot and cold

Wrong and right instead of right and wrong

Bad and good instead of good and bad

South and north instead of north and south

West and east instead of east and west

Paper and pen instead of pen and paper

Cons and pros instead of pros and cons

Earth and heaven instead of heaven and earth

Down and up instead of up and down

Wide and far instead of far and wide

 

As long as both expressions have the same meaning,

There is no difference whichever way you say it

Nobody has the authority to tell others how to speak

Author's Note

People can speak any way they want.
