Contest: Wizard Of Oz Limerick contest, sponsored by Charles Messina

Dorothy hated her ruby slippers And hid them under the munchkin's knickers He soon got up to go pee But tripped and fell on his knee Her ruby slippers are now wet trippers The scarecrow found Dorothy's wet red shoes He didn't know why, but he was not amused Gave them to the witch who said she wouldn't snitch After what he just did, he's now confused

Thanks for this Tania. I suppose it suggests be careful what you wish for. TCM showed the Wizard of Oz recently and the slippers bestow a lot of power. Your work seems to suggest trying to give that away or not pursuing it so hard. That would certainly make for an interesting film.

Those munchkins are not known for their taste, peeing all over the place, they find it quicker, peeing in a slipper, their actions are a utter disgrace.
