Off To See the Wiz

I'm off to see the Wizard, the man behind the curtain He can help me I am quite certain I am a different colored horse And I am tired of people staring of course How many horses have you seen that are pink If anyone can help me, he can I think He helped a girl, a lion, the Tin Man and a scarecrow If he could help them, he can help me I know I don't want to be a horse of a different color I want to be a horse like all others So the Wizard was wise and with the wink of an eye He ordered the Munchkins to give me a full body dye Now I am the most normal horse around No longer flashy, just plain old brown So I left the city of Oz far behind me And moved to a small horse farm in Kentucky Poetry Contest: Off To See The Wizard Sponsored by: Charles Messina 10/29/18
