If down were up
And up were down
If the biggest city
Where the smallest town
If the vicious lion
Were a harmless mouse
If the kings castle
Was a poor cobblers house
If the burning hot sun
Were a cold block of ice
If the torturers touch
Felt very nice
If the most beautiful woman
Were the ugliest hag
If the iron man's muscles
Started to sag
If the mightiest mountain
Were the smallest stone
Only then
Would I be at home

Don,
I found this on Wikipedia.com, is this really you?
Don Loper (April 26, 1906 - November 22, 1972) Born in Toledo, Ohio was an American costume and necktie designer, as well as a screenwriter, choreographer, Associate Producer, actor, and assistant to MGM musicals producer Arthur Freed.
Loper is also known for introducing Judy Garland to her future husband, director Vincente Minnelli.
Loper's work, some of which was designed for stars like Ella Fitzgerald is featured in the Los Angeles County Museum of Art and the California African American Museum. He also played himself in an episode of I Love Lucy titled The Fashion Show in 1955.
He died in Santa Monica, California, from complications following a lung puncture.
I hope this is you, but not dead.
