Aftermath of Oz

The rubiest shoes, on display, walked yellowest bricks all the way. The emerald glows, but Dorothy knows the rainbow hues melting away. A barrel of laughs in the night. Ho hum after witchiest flight. The bump on her head does find her in bed. The monkeys with wings out of sight. The brains of a scarecrow she sees. The heart of a tinman does freeze. It does not make sense. Her friends think she’s dense. Yet, courage of lion, she frees. She roars about witches on brooms and colorful wizard that booms; and munchkins not high, and monkeys that fly. A quack of a doctor resumes.

Nice one, Kim. I’ve written something in a similar vein… alas I could barely remember the ‘supporting cast’ (ie flying monkeys) so I worked with what I had. I certainly see a podium place with your name on it. Good luck. Terry

Thank you, Yann! We’d watch every year (today I suppose you could watch every day, but that leaves no anticipation).

This is superb, methinks, Kim... But did you have to ruin my all-time favorite colorized movie? lol... Now don't start up with the tooth fairy on me! Keep smiling, Gershon
