Ten impossible things

When antelopes fly and mosquitoes do backstroke —
when the ocean glows pink, the moon’s a luscious purple —
when pears smell of tuna and you can taste stripes —
when cats are eight-legged and elephants spacewalk —
when water runs up from the drain, instead of down —

that’s the day pollies
are held to account.
