Ooze and OZ




Of good we need so little sign
accepting what we’re told.
With ease do “evil” we assign.
to ugly girls and bold.
Though “wicked” was but part her name,
'twas from the west she flew.
And Glinda wrongly placed the blame,
for, surely, Glinda knew
no Kansas girl of innocence”
of “pure and simple thought”
would flee beyond the munchkin fence
with shoes she hadn’t bought.
Oh evil is as evil does
and wicked’s often seen
in those depicted less than good
upon the silver screen.
Twas Dorothy, of foreign birth,
who flattened Wicked’s kin
and, proving strong beyond her girth,
skipped off to kill again.
With water, have you heard the news,
she sealed our Wicked’s doom
and, not content with stealing shoes,
escaped with Wicked’s broom.


--------------------------------


The farmer’s daughter turned to bad;
this theme I’ll oft repeat.
There’s proof, abundant, to be had;
It’s there, upon her feet.
The Munchkin cops were fat and lax;
they toddled, swift, away.
Ignoring, clear, house dropping, facts--
they let her get away.


"...and her little dog too".
