''There Is No Place Like Home'' - Wiz
I was just a little lost cat,
so afraid when that wild, crazy tornado hit;
so, I hopped into a nearby basket lying quite flat,
then, this girl, her dog and me were spinning and wind lit.
Along with blown debris we spun,
landing in a fantasy land tattered, confused and undone;
then, skipping down a yellow brick road singing in the sun.
She was Dorothy and Toto was my new friend,
we were joined by odd characters in the end;
all travelling to the Wizard to mend.
I peeked out with a loud meow for a chat,
what do you wish for kitty, so I had to admit'
I want a "there is no place like home" hun,
and with you and Toto my life to spend.
I was kissed with love not pretend,
Dorothy clicked her shoes and it was done;
in bed she was sleeping soundly and in her arms I cozy fit,
and our precious Toto dog snored on a nearby pretty mat . . .
