100 Years Please-Wiz

Dorothy and Toto want to get back home because as we all know, there is no place like HOME. So, seeking guidance from all but the wicked witch, off and away to places unknown, we ROAMED. We are off to see the Wizard of Oz because we each need something SPECIAL. We are simply earthly or terrestrial creatures needing something from the CELESTIAL. The Lion needs courage; the scarecrow needs brains; the tin man needs a HEART. We are all helpless on our own, but each is doing our part just to get a brand new START. I joined the youngsters a few miles back and I'm tired already cause this journey is really HARD. Me?* I'm just an old old-timer who's been around the bin a few times and in need of a new SPARK. I have a new pacemaker, false teeth, eyeglasses, hearing aids, an oxygen tank, ....., and a WALKER. I'm a good chess and checker player, and I love shooting pool, but I'm no good at playing POKER. I'm feeling just fine at 99, and my doctor says I need to slow down, but I'm just trying to reach 100. Perhaps somehow the wizard can grant me another year or I'll be dead as sure as my name is TED. 11052018PoSoupContest, Off To See The Wizard, Charles Messina; 2P; *The Old-Timer character is fictional
