JUST BECOZ

JUST BECOZ

Whether courage, a heart, or a brain
Their absence may cause you pain
Find the witch of the East
Or the wizard of Oz at least
The search for these things is insane

The munchkins may seem so cute
An observation you cannot refute
But when asked the way
All they would say
The yellow brick road is the route

Read the books by Frank L Baum
Despite each being a bit of a tome
You know how it feels
Just start tapping those heels
And say There’s no place like home

Aftermath of Oz

The rubiest shoes, on display,
walked yellowest bricks all the way.
The emerald glows,
but Dorothy knows
the rainbow hues melting away.

A barrel of laughs in the night.
Ho hum after witchiest flight.
The bump on her head
does find her in bed.
The monkeys with wings out of sight.

The brains of a scarecrow she sees.
The heart of a tinman does freeze.
It does not make sense.
Her friends think she’s dense.
Yet, courage of lion, she frees.

She roars about witches on brooms
and colorful wizard that booms;
and munchkins not high,
and monkeys that fly.
A quack of a doctor resumes.

Halloween Trick or Treats

full moon on hallow's eve
ghosts and goblins
will be trick or treating
for bags and bags of candy
toffee apples on sticks
enough sweets to rot their teeth

children roam the streets
as costumed munchkins
looking for yummy treats
darkness filled with characters
older kids dressed up wild
ranging from devils to angels

spooky pumpkins
carved with care
eerie sounds from coffins
in the dead of night
creaking doors and then
the graveyard comes to life

dwarfs feelings for snow white

Snow White was astounded at their love for her
Seven little munchkins, whose hearts were pure.
She had not felt this kind of love for many years
Together they had alleviated her stepmother fears.
They were marvelously helpful dwarfs who loved her so.
With them around, she felt beloved, her heart all aglow.

Window on a String

Twilight has set me free
To this feeling I must cling
Then from the heavens descended
A window on a string... 

My view now slightly obstructed
By soul sucking muntins.
Perhaps it is a prank done by
Some snot nosed heavenly munchkins

A vision once so sublime,
Is now sullied by the glare
That mocks me wholeheartedly, my reflection 
Was donned with the blankest of stares.

I walked through the field to
Make my way back home
It would stay in front of me, 
No matter which direction I would go.

I got my baseball bat, gripped it tight
Got to make sure I hit it just right.
A tidal wave of a swing was greeted bluntly
With a sad song, the faintest of dings

How will I ever rid myself of it?
I am still stuck with this cursed thing!
Perhaps I am just cursed forever
With this window on a string.

It Begins At Belonging

So it begins.., somewhere 
it always must. Right?

Just picturing Dorothy starting out.., followin' Billie Burke's yellow brick road,
on a cause..
                  with bewitched ruby shoes. 
many munchkins encouraging entourage in song..
a crushed one lost.

She was alone then, mostly, accept for Toto only 
 embarking on a journey to Oz...

Don't ya see? 
                    It was belonging they both tried to find.. 

That winding road's spiral'd beginning
that's it 
that's what it's like..

Blowin' dandelions at an age before
as ages go, seeds on the wind
before the scary sounds, the cries..
who's to blame?

Waiting your turn, soon to rush headlong
her bracelet still hanging on
a battle of bullets and longing
where a hallowed enemy waits...
all shredded waves
now gone
a bracelet worn too, he..
from her., just as you.

It was belonging they tried to find, 
both of them.., could've been best friends
before war's indifference.. 
so glad once.., yet the same
oh, don't ya see?
who's to blame.

The Wizard Will Know

The wizard will know everyone I met along the way said.
Okay, I thought, for I am from Kansas and not daft in my head.
I looked for the curtain as I pranced down the yellow brick road.
Instead of Toto a cairn terrier, I was followed by a frog who looked old.

The mini-munchkins did not come out to greet or to sing.
I never found a scarecrow, tinman or lion with zing.
In the far distance I saw a poppy field, but the flowers looked odd.
An old witch-like creature with wings gave me a head nod.

Where is the wizard? I yelled, kind of half-heartedly.
That’s when I found a lively sassy wise talking oak tree.
Winged monkeys are about, so make haste she warned me.
Fear came into my heart, I’ve seen Wizard of Oz times twenty-three.

I began to run and hit my head on an unexpected branch.
I woke up smelling cinnamon, pumpkin and possibly ranch.
A frog with a wizard hat was concocting some kind of spell.
I wondered if I was still alive or I had gone to…..

Trick Or Treat

Another year has passed.
Halloween  will darken the night.
Beware,
All the munchkins will be creeping at your door.
As they ring your doorbell, Trick or Treat, they will yell.
If not, a generous portion, 
screaming lit pumpkins large and small you will dream.

What Do We Call Her

I think she is the Snail Faerie one of the munchkins said.
I call her Owl faerie said another, this discussion well led.
Why don’t you just ask her? A monarch butterfly suggested.
I think that is a great idea! Said a glow worm who was rested.

Ghost Chilling B O O

the night is dark
            man in the moon disembark
                  awful chilling and spooky 
                        b o o , b o o ... soupy 

      no one in sight
            even under bright 
                  old street lamp light
                        daunted and stark 

      black cat in the park
            old owl yon hark
                  melodies meadow lark
                        jet siren echo

      chirping geckos
            along the eaves 
                  full of wet leaves
                        in the distance

      coexistence 
            lethal bald eagle
                  loud in gleeful
                        ever peaceful

      frogs and doggies bark
             leave a soggy mark
                   scarecrow in stitches 
                         monsters in britches

      broomstick hurls its witch
            over devils ditch
                  ghost do boast
                        bats hang undermost

      thumping pumpkins
            dancing munchkins'
                  ugly and mean
                        all convene for Halloween

Children Story

Spinning In My Brain

Dragons, gargoyles and faeries spinning in my brain
I throw in unicorns and witches in the refrain
Prancing around in there, for the world to enjoy
A whimsical world to entice every girl and boy

I design mushroom houses for munchkins and elves
My muses and I giggle, we are so proud of ourselves.
Pirate queen dances with a wild cat wearing a dress.
Bits of insanity possibly, but why should I confess?

Minchkins and Munchkins

Minchkins and Munchkins eyes twitter and twitch
Glorifying carnivoric conquests fair
Dining on country found delicacies at which 
Some cats stick city slick noses in the air
Nothing juicier than catching meat on the go
My quick tomcats Minchkins and Munchkins know 
They nibble on tiny mole and vole head,
Laughing maniacally where creatures dare tread.

She Had a Crush On My Brother

I had a girlfriend named Shirley
Who was funny in every way
Her sense of humor delightful
Each and every otherwise solemn day

We gravitated toward each other
In a marching band did play
She had a crush on my brother
So I had to kindly say

He’s a weirdo, truly creepy.
You can do better, he’s not the best.
To which Shirley said with feeling
I think surely you must jest.

They ended up together 
Shirley and the brother of mine
They had six little munchkins
Who make me laugh all the time.
