Notes About The Poem

Those Ruby Red Shoes - Wiz

Those Ruby Red Shoes


The 'Wizard of Oz',
     a great hit became;
          lived on thru the years
               with glory and fame.

If I had the chance,
     I'd be Dorothy,
          with ruby red shoes...
               their magic set free.

Those slippers of red,
     now valued so high...
          if I were her, I'd
               ask Wizard, could I

keep them as my own,
     their magic to stay...
          not just an antique
               to show on display.

Tho thousands were paid,
     to sit behind glass,
          conversely, I would
               use this gift with class,

click heels, one, two, three
     find those, lost, alone...
          my ruby red shoes
               would take them back home.
