A-2: Mirror Writing
Using this program - Mirror Writing or Mirror Writing 2 - write a poem about arriving in the Looking Glass World and what you experience there on your first day. (<40 lines)

I stepped through the glass and there I found--
Every in was an out, and the sky was the ground,

I tried to get up and went straight to bed,
I brushed my feet and shoed my head

I walked on my hands and spoke inside out,
I spoke metric verse though I wanted to shout,

I was blind as an eagle and swift like a bat
I worked five to nine like a napping cat,

I had breakfast for dinner and dessert for snack
Every bite that I took filled my plate front to back,

And my ups were all downs and my lefts were alright,
So, I slipped past my dreaming and into the night.
