Off To Tweet the Witch

Trump is sounding like
someone in Wizard of Oz.

Off to tweet the witch
Before she has done me back
With one worse than mine.

I, too, have been to the land of Oz,
where everything is 
that never was,
where nothing is never
anyone's sole endeavor,
and where whatever is
is never just because....

The incredible Wizard of OZ
Has long last, lost his magic because
A new witch in town, you see
Oh my, with powers, times three 
He’ll never be the Wizard he was...

Listen to poem:

As a child I became frightened and froze,
When I watched where yellow brick road goes.
For the witch in the sky,
Made me quiver and cry,
"Turn it off! I can’t stand her crows!"...

The Wizard of Oz leaves me chilled 
(take those weirdos, the Lollipop Guild), 
but West Witch's flunkies,
those strange flying monkeys,
leave my poor lion's heart terror filled....

The Tin Man of Wizard of Oz

is kind but don't know it because

though shiny and smart

he's made with no heart-

but finds one to pump up his cause!

Ah

Wicked witch
Emerald City
Lions and tigers and bears oh my
Insuring singer Judy Garland immortality
She is most watched movie of all time, thrilling generation after generation...

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?"...

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...

Close my eyes, home I feel 
I cannot be dreaming, dreams aren't this real 
Ruby red shoes, three clicks of the heel
I will never forget how they all helped me heal 
My friend made of straw and the other Tin steel

Saw a stage play of the WIZARD OF OZ
At our local theatre, didn't expect it, I was in awe
Extremely well done
So enjoyable and fun
My hat is off to these performers and a big hurrah

Giggles and kisses with many hugs;
   "         "       "       "       "       "   .

Sounds like the chant in Wizard of Oz.
What do you think? Now you try to
pronounce the title.

I have removed my idea for casting characters for the Wizard of Oz.  It would seem someone(s) took umbrage at the suggestion, perhaps in fear they'd be cast as a character they would not like to be associated with.  I find that amusing....

clover prances prettily
moss curls up next to fern
dandelion's leaves gloating 
ethereal verdant forest
showing off spring's color 
entire world glowing 
in Wizard of Oz delight
Rejuvenating and revitalizing
Every aspect of the meadow...

Morbidly curious?
Not really.
Want to see?
No.

But it is a black curtain.
It might be the Wizard of Oz
or a plain man
pretending to be one.

I yawn.
Uninterested
Walk away.
He follows me.

Why do you not want to see?
I have no idea
I just don’t...

They are coming to take me away ha ha
Witches, goblins and ghosts that I saw.
Did you see the lions, tigers and bears? Oh, my!
I stared at Kansas girl and started to sigh.
You’re in the wrong fairy tale, I hope you know.
Knew I was wrong as the wind started to blow....

Mickey Mouse purses
Wizard of Oz bags
Disney’s Cinderella t-shirts
They have been around for nigh onto seventy years
Yet somehow we feel like we have just discovered them, 
Thinking they are new.
Mickey Mouse thongs
They are not new
We used to wear them in the sixties
On our feet....

pink witches of the sixties
take offs from the good witch
the one in the Wizard of Oz
their hair a distinct weird color like hers

pink witches of the sixties
with perfect make up
and red ruby lips
reminding us of Dorothy’s shoes

your peach and pink chiffon dresses
reminding me of Billie Burke’s
your originator must have been watching
the Wizard of Oz while designing you three...

It's raining mud in Kansas,
200 miles an hour wind-hammers
broke Kentucky's heart.
Good people rush to help,
poets watch,
dogs bark
reporters report.

In the days of the Delta variants
children are left out in the cold
to eat lunch -
it's for their own good.

Meanwhile an iron gauntlet
grips the neck of the Republic
for its own good,
but it's all bad

and there is still no vaccine
for stupid....

   Miss Dorothy Gale , European
    was forced to learn language Ozian.
          Book ‘Wizard of OZ’-
          She read from A to Z,
   and encountered witty magician.
 
       Just hypnotised by magical wonder
       also mesmerised by splendid splendour,
             common sense to forego
              and IQ turned zero.
      In land of OZ she had to wander.

nothing frightens me more
especially when I watch the show in black and white
remembering the terror I felt the first time I saw them

winged monkeys
from the Wizard of Oz
somehow every bit as frightening as the witch
and we all know how scary that dame was

I flip through the channels trying to find it
Wizard of Oz
they are all in technicolor now
I moan my sadness
I was ready for a really good fright...
