Wizard Of Oz - limericks cluster

(Lion)
 I imagine myself as a king
 With the gall to face anything
 Yes it's true, there's no denyin
 That I am the cowardly lion
 But the element of surprise I will bring!

(Scarecrow)
 I can't scare a crow or fasten a boot
 But I can reveal every square route
 I've no face for poker
 I am quite the joker
 Without wicked witches life's a hoot!

(Tin Man)
 I'm canny. Well, I am made of tin.
 I'm all heart. I am without sin.
 With each delight
 My soul takes flight.
 I soar and I always grin.

(Dorothy)
 I'm glad that the witch thinks me pretty.
 There's more to me! I am witty.
 With To-To in tow
 I go where I go
 And carefree, I sing my little ditty.

(To-To)
 With a growl and a woof
 With a huff and a puff
 A bark and a bite
 You'll see that I might 
 Turn out to be tough!

(The Wicked Witch)
 I'll get you my pretty, you'll see
 It's a mistake to fool with me!
 Just stay clear of water
 Or I'll do what I ought'a 
 Before you learn it frightens me.

(The Wizard Of Oz)
 The great and powerful Oz I'm not.
 There isn't anything I have got
 That makes me superior. 
 In fact, I'm inferior.
 For behind this fascade I hid a lot.
