Watch For Falling Houses

Watch for Falling Houses

By Elton Camp

Even though the visit to Oz was a dream
A weird way to kill a witch it does seem

When a house came falling from the sky
Such a sight would not be hard to spy

On her broomstick the witch would spring
And fly away so as not to fear a single thing

If the Witch of the East was that easy to kill
Why didn’t the ugly dwarfs long ago chill?

To them, her domination certainly rankles 
With zebra stockings and no trace of ankles

Like her sister, was she to water so averse
Perhaps even that, to her, would be a curse

If so, it means that a shower she never had
It would follow she had to stink terribly bad

Is that what brought the dwarfs such delight
Finally to have the witch out of their sight

True, well done! Of course I live with RR tracks 50ft in front of my house and they are still used - some. :) Tanya
