I cannot look you in the voice
Neither be thee my scent of choice
Cannot avoid thee in my sleep
Like a Rolls followed by a Jeep

pressure to conform
prissy Dorothy liked dresses
impractical though

showed pink panties in the wind
she favors slacks now

Limerick of Dorothy

There once was a woman named Dorothy
Dorothy liked to pee in her porridge
Said it added flavor
Thats just what I gave her
Wonder what she puts on her ice cream

Premium Member No Wiz In Oz

 Dorothy followed the yellow brick road
 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!

There once was Glenda with slippers to share.
Dorothy liked better Prada devil’s pair.
She ducked behind Oz’s curtain
To do what is uncertain,
But the Lion put a crib in his lair.

Premium Member We Are Going To Be Late

Dorothy’s eyes fell onto her plate.
Said one to the other, we’re gonna be late.
They rolled off the table and onto the street.
Dorothy never saw them again
She had to feel for her meat.

Premium Member She Outdid Humbug Wizadry


Toto uncurtained Oz's stagey play,
his humbug wizardry didn't go astray.
      In a balloon he vanished,
      lone Dorothy felt banished,
on silver shoes she flew home all the way.

Do hope the other four are keeping in time Dorothy
Yes Sybil they are all looking exceptionally elegant
When are you going to tell them we have passed the audition.

Premium Member Today's Fairytale Divas Choose Red

Little Red Riding Hood
told the wolf where she stood.

Dorothy informed, "Emerald won't do",
as she twirled her ruby shoe.

Alice said, "off with your head -
Let's paint the town red!"

predominance

content and now
shape and form
of social context

A guy wore a dress for all to see
On TV, he was called Dorothy
To his pals he was Mike
Girdles he disliked
On set, he would sit down to pee.

Premium Member The Wizard of Oz

Dorothy's friends comprised a quite motley lot
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?"

Premium Member Dorothy Dandridge Eyes

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.

Wizard Of Oz Limerick Poetry Contest
Charles Messina


Dorothy and her dog Toto collide
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

A Place Called Oz

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’

Dorothy On Her Deathbed

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

No wizard just a blizzard

   A lion, a tin man, and a scarecrow.
   Followed Dorothy, beyond the rainbow.
   Singing and dancing, they strode,
   Along the yellow brick road.
   Where an old witch, plunged them knee deep in snow.

Despite the happy ending
Miss Gulch won't fade away
like a rumble of thunder.
She'll clutch the sheriffs order,
Pester Em and Henry
until Toto lies as still as sky
after a cyclone,
and Dorothy realizes
Glinda was a very wicked witch.
