Dorothy Toto The Gang and Dr Phil

Dorothy and her lovely small dog Toto. Were all taken up in a fierce tornado. Ran into three helpless bobos. A Tin man, Lion, and Scarecrow. No Wizard needed, just the Dr Phil show. The three went to see Dr. Phil, a PHD. No heart for the Tin man, just psychotherapy. Told the Lion to get a set, and the Scarecrow to not forget. All thanked the Dr, and walked away happily. The Wizard they all thought had magical powers. Worked and schemed, behind his curtain, every hour. His curtain was removed. The people were amused. Now, he plays behind the curtain in the shower.. Bobo: A slang Spanish word meaning half witted. Wizard Of Oz Limerick Poetry Contest Charles Messina Written November 22 2024

Dear Michael, this is an outstanding poem that playfully explores Dorothy, Toto, and their companions (the Tin Man, the Lion, and the Scarecrow) as they seek aid from Dr. Phil rather than the Wizard of Oz, implying that psychological understanding may be more useful than magical answers. Reflects on the familiar characters from "The Wizard of Oz" and their search for self-improvement, valuing mental health and self-acceptance over traditional concepts of magic and sorcery. Blessings
