"THE LAND OF OZ"

THE LAND OF OZ

Puppies,

Kitties,

Birds,

Toys,

Rainbows,

Wizard of Oz,

Cause

Peepers

Say no more stories on politics.

No more complaints,

Or bitchy sessions

Or politics.

Meow!

Meow!

This old cat lady

Will say blah!

I am on the precipice

Of losing my,

Social Security,

Medicare,

Snap,

Medicaid.

At 75 I have news for you

Boo,

When I lose those benefits,

Then I and millions will die.

But oh no

There are peeps

Who thinks I am their competition at 75.

At 75, glad to be alive.

Meow!

Meow!

Life is lollypops,

Balloons,

Chantilly lace,

Puppies,

Kitties,

Birds,

No car,

Physically not able to walk the beat

Of the heat of the night

Stars so bright

As I play with my toys,

Puppies,

Kitties

Birds

And bury my head in the sand

In the land of California

As my benefits leave,

But you say just toys

Lollipops

Sugar cookies

In the land of Oz

Cause

Now

Meow

Meow

See no evil

Do no evil

Hear no evil

Throw my ashes in the ocean

Off Dana Point

If that’s illegal

So be it

I will end with a protest

Of the last statement of my political life

Of,

journalism, art, and music.
