"a Horse of a Different Color!"
The Wizard of Oz....
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"But he is not really a wizard," she said
"Standing behind this curtain
That he has drawn...."
The lyrics of a song
Drifting through the air
The Goo Goo Dolls....'Broadway'
"See the young man sitting
At the old man's bar
Waiting for his turn to die...."
Is what she says
Well, is what she implies?
"He is no wizard," one agrees
For he is much to like
The Tin Man...."
"Or even The Scarecrow
The Cowardly Lion"
Another chimes in....
As they chide, then giggle
While passing their days away
Blinking their eyes
And turning their heads....
Muting the sounds, of a song
The Goo Goo Dolls, and, 'Broadway'
"He's no wizard," he said
While whiling away the hours
Within these ironies, just
Waiting, for their turns to die....
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Follow the yellow brick road!?
