We Now Use Wicked Witch's Castle For Good

Wicked Witch of the West’s
Castle is now a home for unwed children, numbering twenty-three,
Children who are gloriously sock-loose and dance-e-bee.

The flying monkeys have turned into baby sitters, and lovers.
They protect the children from all mean witches and mothers.

The scarecrow and the lion come by about twice a week,
To make sure things are comfortable, they both do peek.

Tin-man runs a home for cairn terriers down the road.
He occasionally also saves an iguana, or a horny toad.

They get a face-time call from Kansas, USA, once a day.
Dorothy is in college now, so she does not have time to play.

But she picks up the ruby slippers and makes them shine,
Showing them she will never forget Oz was a fabulous time!
