The tin man and the scarecrow

Dorothy lives here
Or I thought she did once
The witch went to Kansas
The great oz got stuck in some farmhouse and learnt to milk the cow
Toto the dog lives upyellow brick road
The good fairy still believes
We need her magic touch
The scarecrow is still deceived
The lion he started roaring
Evening until early morning
Uncle Henry and aunt em
Still look for Dorothy every morning
Tin man loves his oil
And in it grins and toil
And who is left oh the munchkins
Run the earth
And in Kansas they all dwell
The red shoes lie in Hollywood
And all who come
To see them
Know they still exist
The tornado still does twist
And toto the dog smiles
And hasn't lost his gist
So In some old magic film reel
In some old movie storehouse
Up yonder there
On some forgotten street
Where the dust has spilled and set
You may hear their voices clearly
And see the tornado dust rise high
And see Toto in Dorothy's arms
As she runs from witches arms
And you'll see the munchkins flying high
And red shoes lying neatly shined
And you'll slip on tin mans oil
And see straw on dusty floor
And see lion hiding from us all
So was it just some story
After all?

Wonderful film the Wizard of Oz and still people watch it all these years later. And Judy Garland, what a woman. Looking forward to seeing the new film about her life story. A talented and a tragic figure combined. Hope you are well Julie. Loved the reminder.

You have a wonderfully awesome imagination. I've been charmed by your poetry so far. It's always nice to feel a sense of fresh air here at Writerscafe.
