Mike Hauser Poet Rhyme

Ruby Reds

Dorothy can I borrow 
Your Ruby Red shoes
I could use a vacation
From my state of blues

Don't care much where they take me
If you want truth or dare
Three steps over the rainbow
Or to Kansas somewhere

I feel those Ruby Reds
Are my only plan of escape
I hear that their magic
Can take me away

From this state of being
That I am stuck in 
Oh by the way Dorothy 
Do they come in size 10

And Dorothy I'll try not
To wear out the souls
As I make my way through
Places untold

So Dorothy what do you say
Can I borrow those shoes
As I need a vacation
From this state of blues
