Over the Rainbow

Remember these youthful days of long ago
going to the movies really so full of fun
one of the earliest memories comes to mind
being at the pictures days of little sun

The 'Wizard of Oz' was a great movie
full of suspense and drama music was fab
I loved Dorothy's innocence just like me
even now think of it was never drab

The tin man was so sad with no heart
a bit like me then wanted so to change
even the scarecrow at bottom of class
with no brain that was me still at start

Now that poor lion full of fear
I knew too well stammer held me down
so many pictures here could easy relate
but hope came my thoughts got clear

But for me the memory that highlights it all
Dorothy the star way up 'over the rainbow'
watching to it again haunts all my mind
bringing home feelings makes one glow!
