Liquidation of a Dream

The Wizard: Oh, you liquidated her, eh? Very Resourceful. (Quote from 1939 The Wizard of Oz) LIQUIDATION OF A DREAM Oz dreamt Dorothy — waters never melted witch monkeys buzz like flies the trio ne’er met — no brain, heart nor courage found tears of rusted tin ruby nor silver slippers colorize the land — monochrome wizard monotone munchkins slaves to the emerald sky — Glinda’s been vanquished 12/23/2018

Love the way you took this familiar classic apart and (the way) you put it back together. Intriguing! :) gw

Beautiful write, I cannot help but wonder if you watched The Wizard of Oz last night as I was watching it also. The winged monkeys seriously did "buzz".
