The Wizard Of Odd

Disturbing - flying monkeys

and witches on fire

A heartless, oil-can junkie

and brainless scarecrow, for hire

A lion, with no courage

transporting through time

Tornados, on the rampage

where locals stand, knee-high

Territorial sisters

one evil one good

Sparkly ruby, red slippers

to escape from, the hood

A dream of a lifetime

with characters, too familiar

Crossing imaginational, blurred lines

strolling brick roads, by the river

A lost child, missing her auntie

tapping her new shoes, three times

A smooth-talking wizard

making this crew, walk the line

Demanding salvation

from the rule of the land

To return her to Kansas

deliver his demands

Burn up her broomstick

dissolve her into a puddle

Keep that dog on a leash

before he gets into trouble

Balloons, out of control

nightmares as close as, Elm St

Collected, gazing, round her bed

from the oddest of dreams

***

Proving once and for all, there is no place like home
