Ozian Studies

Not too very far from here, a balloon rose to the stratosphere. She could see all around - her disappearing little town. Beside her, a small dog yapped, wondering if her mind had snapped. She'd recreate the voyage Dorothy took. Why, she'd be famous and write a book! I wonder if you would agree, that's an unusual way to get a PhD.

It has great imagery. Terrific rhyme and flow. (Yay for rhyme). The balloon would scare me more more than the witch.

Thanks. Hmm, I wonder. I'm afraid to stand next to a window in a tall building, but I have no fear looking out of an airplane window 35,000 feet in the air. I wonder which a balloon would be like.

Wow! What a ride! … She could see all around - her disappearing little town. Beside her, a small dog yapped

I was on an experience at Universal, I think, where we were gliding over the landscape, could even smell the flowers…a cool ride!

I've never been on a balloon, but it seems like fun!
