WE ARE OFF TO SEE THE WIZARD, THE WONDERFUL WIZARD OF OZ

Our heroine Dorothy is caught up in a storm, She looks around as she lands, unbeknown will transform Children’s dreams in an adventurous way, With her new friends, let’s say hurray, Magic shoes travel The Yellow Brick Road, not the norm. They discovered the Wizard Of Oz was human, a con, But gave Scarecrow his much wanted brains, wow he won, The Tin Woodman was given a heart, Which he wanted from the start, Cowardly Lion made brave , ruled all beasts under the sun. Witch East splattered by Dorothy's house landing, she was bad, Grateful Good Witch North, gives Dorothy magic shoes, Dorothy glad, Bad Witch West dissolved with water, airfoam, Good Witch South Glinda, sends Dorothy home, Click your heels Dot, destination Kansas, a fairy-tale grand.

I enjoyed reading this one for the contest. It reads like a good contender to me. Way to go. It has been a long time since I have seen the movie and now there is the new one out. I really don't remember all that much about the movie though now. LOL..Age takes its toll. Thanks for sharing this one with us. Sara K

A truly magical tale of friendship, selflessness, the wonder childlike belief and the intrinsic desire to be "home!" Loved your re-telling of this classic story in limerick form! Very creative and so well done, my friend! Best wishes for the contest. Sending you a bounty of blessings!

Who put up a contest to the iconic, Wizard Of Oz. You just can't be messing with it. In saying that, you've done a good job on it. That girl was always just a bit too innocent for her own good. Offering all sorts of bribes to waylaid men. Probably why they three dopes followed her. Mind you, I would be one of them. lol
