Up is Up and Down is Down

One day the Hawk found a magic scroll
With magic reading glasses beside
And he read and read and read and read
To learn the truth inside

And as he read he understood
For the very first time
That up was down and down was up
And to not teach this was a crime

So he began to teach his truth
Seen only through glasses and scroll
To little children, just 8 years old
And forums he did troll

The Hawk then took his magic scroll
And flew it to the bar
To tell scientists and lurkers there
The truth he learned afar

He challenged them to debate him on
The preachings of the scroll
Telling storied Steve and Dr. Murph
This truth would save their soul

So people came from far and wide
To witness the debate
ke assembled himself from rhyme
Kristine shimmied in late

Lou showed up with both the girls
Ambiguous sexuality and all
Old Man in the Sky was there
Occam’s toiletries joined the ball

Deadman brought an ancient skull
Shirley brought a hug
Arden looked like Fred Murtz
Dickie Hughes brought a pet bug

Louis flew from 'cross the pond
Mike came from project Steve
And Steve brought his long pin head
Russell said he'd have to leave

JuJuquisp came as the bat boy
Along with at least one crank
And just to guarantee expertise
Came Rev. Dr. Flank

Bob OH Bob was there as well
Along with his friend Faid
Blipey was their backup
Or at least that's what he said

Several came without a name
People like BWE
another two without a name
MCC and GCT

Icthyic came with smell of fish
Seizure stopped his salad tossing
Carlsonjok rode in on his steed
Stopped at every crossing

Midnight Voice spoke loud and clear
At any time of day
Stephen Elliot used his real name
Jeannot, French to the fray

Crabby brought apples by the ton
To strengthen and refresh
The Keiths all came down from the hills
Hundreds in the flesh

The knighted earl of dirty toes
Brought his funky self
JonF came without his H
Left home on the shelf

Wesley with his fuzzy face
Agreed to host the competition
And lurkers gathered round the ring
To watch Hawk try his mission

Up is down and down is up
Proclaimed Hawk to the crowd
No one can prove me wrong
No one here I vow

Dr. Murph with oversized head
To protect his mighty brain
Said Hawk you hold it right there
You talk like you’re insane

I’m not insane I know it’s true
It’s written on the scroll
look through these magic glasses
And this truth you will also know

Dr. Murph with patience great
Began at the beginning
Showing the Hawk why up is up
It left Hawk’s brain a spinning

Take off the glasses on your nose
Pleaded Murph to Hawk’s thick brain
Without the glasses you will see
It’s always been the same

But if up is up and down is down
Where does that leave my god?
The magic of the scroll proclaims
Up is up is just façade

So on and on the debate did rage
Through spring, summer and fall
‘till finally storied Steve stepped in
This has gone on far too long

Hawk has no evidence or facts
Nothing new since debate arose
And with those glasses cannot see
Anything beyond his nose

As Hawk looked through his glasses thick
It looked just the opposite to him
Everyone else could see he lost
His glasses proclaimed a win

The lurkers just shook their heads
A few of them did uncloak
Feeling sorry for the Hawkish man
Having pity on the bloke

So Hawk flew way to his special place
The Truth 4 Kids big hall
And everyone else let an empty sigh
Hawk didn’t learn anything at all

So let this be a story now
To people young and old
Up is up and down is down
No matter what the scrolls
