Analysis of Topsy turvy
Glory Sasikala 1964 (Kolkata)
Milestones can be homeward
Kissing can be a bite
Laughing can be silence
And wrong can be right
unravelling can be knitting
Clean can be a dump
Losing can be winning
Winning can be a slump
Oh yes!
the Earth can stay still
and the Sun spin around instead
And I can say I can live without you but mean
Without you I’d be dead.
