Oz never gave the Metal Man
mettle,
but he did
find it at a souvenir stand there,
and Dorothy got a wicked
pair of vintage kicks
–made for walking–
(and her little dog, too)
but where was she even going?
(her next shin-dig)
everyone knows you only wear slippers around the house,
and the straw man,
well, the straw man.
He was proven liar
by his very incidence
now wasn’t he…
–albeit a clever one—
while the lion
(rahr, the lion)
might have whiled away
his fearful existence in peace,
a dream away a dream away
had not that trio happened upon him and
taught him he was
afraid.
