Meli and Mak make Mommy melt.  
Mak mews marking his milk mission.  
Meli mimics Mommy masking many more minutes of mischief....

Once was a gal who felt so alone
Tornato came up rooted farms home
Landed on wicked  witch
Munchkins came out of ditch
Gave dog lollypops instead of bone...

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....

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.

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....

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....

Casting dubious shadows
Wistful and stirring
A full moon rising
Keeping its eye on
Giddy ghosts and goblins
And costumed little munchkins
Out loose trick or treating

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?...

Saying goodbye to summer's
Unrelenting heat brings joy.
Munchkins return to the classroom and
Moms now have a moment's peace.
Eagerly I await autumn's flora and
Relish the delightful coolness of the weather as
Summer relinquishes her throne.

Enjoy the dregs of summer,
Now that the days grow shorter, but
Don't be sad - she'll return next year.

The Wizard: Oh, you liquidated her, eh? Very Resourceful.
(Quote from 1939 The Wizard of Oz)

LIQUIDATION OF A DREAM

Oz dreamt Dorothy —
waters never melted witch
monkeys buzz like flies

the trio ne’er met —
no brain, heart nor courage found
tears of rusted tin

ruby nor silver
slippers colorize the land
— monochrome wizard

monotone munchkins
slaves to the emerald sky
— Glinda’s been vanquished

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
