Thats just what I gave her

 Trying to get to the wizard's abode
 But the wizard had no clue
 For no magic he could do
 She  wished she could turn him into a toad!

Dorothy liked better Prada devil’s pair.

Toto uncurtained Oz's stagey play,
his humbug wizardry didn't go astray.
      In a balloon he vanished,

On TV, he was called Dorothy
To his pals he was Mike
Girdles he disliked
On set, he would sit down to pee.

Wanted Wizard to fix things that were shot.
         Thought Wizard surely must know
          best fixes for poor ego
 Instead he said "These guys the best you've got?"...

Gate to adventures 
Portal to foreign lands,
That mystical caress 
The calm of sunset
And the flame of brilliance,
Stare not for too long,
Unless you give into a trans,
And live your life
Chasing unpromised beauty....

Up they go on a magic carpet ride
From Kansas home, they whirled
To a make-believe world
They were in Oz to find the other side...

Once upon a time,

There was 

A little girl 

Named Dorothy

From Kansas

Knowing a place

Called Oz

Wearing her

Bright ruby red slippers

Clicking ,clanging, clashing and chanting,

‘Follow the yellow-brick road’...

Her diminished and shading features
As if shrouded within a cocoon or now masked
Graduations of colour that death was successively imposing on her motionless features
Dimming her bouquet of red flowers that seem to float away from her...
