Poppy Fields

by karenina

If I could fall like Dorothy into a red red sleep,
there'd be no need for brains or hearts or courage in the deep.

The Scarecrow would be wise as wise can be in ev'ry way,
The Tin Man would be oiled and loose and never ever sway.

The Lion would not swat his tail or tremble so with fear,
the Wizard would be fast revealed, as his false curtain cleared!

My house would swirl on funnel clouds with witches in the sky,
I'd wake to find I've ruby shoes, though I would not know why.

If truly "There's no place like home" I'd click my red heels thrice...
then wake to see my Auntie Em; now wouldn't that be nice?
