Paradoxia

Welcome to Paradoxia!
The place where nothing's right
A place where the moon is made of cheese
The place where pigs take flight

But getting to Paradoxia
Is not a meagre task
First you must be deep asleep
(Or empty a deeply bottomed flask!)

Once inside Paradoxia
Remember, left is right
Forty-two is twenty-three
And midday lasts all night

Now we hope you enjoyed Paradoxia
But if you don't want to stay
Just remember it isn't true
And hope it stays that way!
