In an upside-down world a right side up man must appear to have his head in the sand.
In an upside-down world the clouds are a bit muddy. fun and smart write,enjoyable to read
every time.
It says what it means he says...fiddlesticks. You like to turn the world sideways. Play it again Sam, the night is young and there might not be a tomorrow.

It just looks that way (to me) sometimes and, like a camera, that's the image that I capture. I'll clarify this one. When one has reached the zenith of jubilation then the only place to go is "down" - like an artillery shell, to crater into the ground. However, once there, we may look forward to clawing our way up over the edge and into the challenge of that belly-crawl across the daily mud of every man's no-mans-land. So, your movie snippet is rather apropos. I think you got it, swell! :)

Oh I get it, I've done that belly-crawl numerous times. I just like to mess with you. ;-)

If we're down, there's hope for better times. Don't over-think things, life's too short. Try not to worry. Try to find something that makes you happy and be thankful if you do. It could always be worse. Be honest about what you're good at and pursue your passions; you won't get another chance. Then at the end, even though you may not have achieved all you desire, you can at least look yourself in the mirror and say you made the effort. There will always be regrets. It's human nature. Don't dwell there. The rents too high, the plumbing leaks and there are vermin. I like sea otters, how about you? :)

Yes. I understand it, partly because I cheated and read the other reviews and because I'm not sure I just did. I related a lot to the middle part oddly enough because I don't play the fiddle sadly :/ Nonetheless it's a great poem made me smile.

Lol it's a continuum. The real message has to be in the center. The other two passages are reflections of one another. It's a cycle of one message. This is interesting, rarely is something such as this executed rightly. You have done so, I would think. By the way, a little fiddle never hurt anybody.

Not fair, not fair, I don't understand your clues! Translation, please, mister.
But, apart from that, i find your upside of DOWN is the Upside and vice versa an interesting little puzzle, something to twiddle thumbs over on a dark and dreary evening. Perhaps a search will discover a good serving of optimism lurking amongst the letters and what knots. After all, a man should have sunshine in his sights, don't you think.

If one is up, high on life (or whatever) then something is bound to happen, eventually, that will bring one down. The opposite is true also. If one is down (blue, down in the dumps, gloomy, etc.) then something will (eventually) happen to cheer one up. The middle is just filler and my self-rebuttal after considering the complimentary thoughts. You must be jet lagged or something, huh? ;-) ... thanks for reading and your review! :)
The devil did not go down to Georgia for a philosophical debate … perhaps you should have paid more attention in music class, instead of trying to fathom just how many butterflies it would take to lift a tank. All that said … what you said makes perfect sense to me and the answer to your pondering of course ...
100 butterflies and a crane, don't forget the crane.

I think you have it already … when I sent you my book.
i think we wonder too much about what could happen bad, and think too little about what has been good...we should just play the fiddle and celebrate life...
