Off To See the Wizard

I'm a Leprechaun, all dressed up in green Hoping to find answers whose meaning I can glean I'm off to OZ, the fabled land of old The wizard will have answers, and I need to find mi gold I started my journey early that night And then a wind came and blew with all its might It lifted me upward, spinning me in flight And I landed in a cornfield later on that night I awoke next morning to the sun's gleam It was all too real just to be a dream I looked all around but no buildings I could see So I walked towards a dirt road, strewn with debris It was there I found a pair of blue suede shoes, I tried them on, I had nothing to lose I felt the magic in the soles And then I clicked my heels Suddenly I was at a castle guarded by trolls!, And then I saw the Wizard, it felt so unreal The wizard said "What do you need" And I asked "Where did I hide mi pot of gold" "Where the mountain meets the rainbow you'll find your gold indeed" And off I went to find it, as the wizard told I told the wizard a mighty wind had blown me far The wizard then waved his magic wand and I ended up at a bar! I didn't know just what to do, so I ordered up some brews Then a lady asked me "Where'd you get those blue suede shoes"!! I replied, "I went to see the Wizard but Elvis wasn't there These blue suede shoes are just a souvenir." -- 11-12-18 Off To See The Wizard Contest Sponsor: Charles Messina

:) Softly smiling. This is brilliant. I love the way the story unfolds, and how searching for gold- leads him way off course. With "Blue Suede Shoes" A wonderful souvenir indeed. Congratulations Joseph, on this win. ~ Brandy

This poem is so clever and cute Joseph. When ever there is a mention of blue suede shoes it conjurs up thoughts of Elvis, as it did in this poem. Wonderfully whimsical Joseph! : )
