You might be comforted by these words from "The Reluctant Dragon" (1941) to be read with poetic emotion.

“To an Upside Down Cake”
by the Reluctant Dragon

Sweet little upside down cake,
Cares and woes, you’ve got ‘em.
Poor little upside down cake,
Your top is on your bottom!
Alas!  Little upside down cake,
Your troubles never stop!
Because, little upside down cake,
Your bottom’s on your top!

Though that might comfort, it might not help you remember.  

Perhaps one can think of 'insert' as being like 'put before' if backscripts was a global and not a function.  OK, maybe that doesn't help.
