Explore "Up Wright and down Wright" by Hugh Lofting on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
Long ago the Brothers Wright / Were men of odd but great renown, / As different as day and night, / The neighbors called them Up and Down.
Now Up Wright was devout and lean, / Proper, virtuous and prim. / Whenever he felt low or mean / He merely sighed or sang a hymn.
A queerer pair was never made; / For Down Wright, short and thick, / Who always called a spade a spade, / Loved to argue, fight and kick.
Yet through the ups and downs of life / Through thick and thin, through good and ill, / In spite of all their constant strife / The brothers lived together still.
