The Tin Man of Wizard of Oz
is kind but don't know it because
though shiny and smart
he's made with no heart-
but finds one to pump up his cause!

There once was Glenda with slippers to share.
Dorothy liked better Prada devil’s pair.
She ducked behind Oz’s curtain
To do what is uncertain,
But the Lion put a crib in his lair.

fun,
A straw man said he could do no thinking,
and I doubt ... he can do any blinking;
well, if he had thunk before,
he wants to do somemore-
so, off they dance ... Dorothy's shoes clinking !

Who'd convert our earth to a sty?
What narcissist fool loves to lie?
Thus the insane Trump
Will command a dump
Not U.S.A. but U.S.I.

That wicked old witch made me the Tin Man
Sans a heart, I'm like a rusty tin can
I creak like a screechy hinge
Making my many friends cringe
A spritz of oil keeps me going again

Wizard Of Oz Limerick Poetry Contest
Charles Messina
Dorothy and her dog Toto collide
Up they go on a magic carpet ride
From Kansas home, they whirled
To a make-believe world
They were in Oz to find the other side

Toto could pull off some really neat tricks
He could do more than bark at green chicks
With the lift of a leg
After slurping a keg
He could make miles of yellow road bricks

anxiety, child, fear,
As a child I became frightened and froze,
When I watched where yellow brick road goes.
For the witch in the sky,
Made me quiver and cry,
"Turn it off! I can’t stand her crows!"

For some, broken sink is an antique!
It appears to them very unique!!
It's a dangerous disease,
Can’t cure it with guarantees!
Thriftiness is observed at its peak!!

Alas he still bore the “code” POTUS
When they realized “his ship will not float us”
So they gave him the shoe
With a swift “bloodless coup”
Convinced that nobody would notice

Toto knew the Girl understood that
her beaucoup would be trimmed of it's fat
They could use straw and tin
and the shoes she was in
but for SURE they were losing the cat..!

The Wizard of Oz leaves me chilled
(take those weirdos, the Lollipop Guild),
but West Witch's flunkies,
those strange flying monkeys,
leave my poor lion's heart terror filled.

Dorothy's friends comprised a quite motley lot
Wanted Wizard to fix things that were shot.
Thought Wizard surely must know
best fixes for poor ego
Wizard said, "Are these guys the best you've got?"

Through my little fingers I'd peek
When I was a kid I would freak
Watching wicked witch melt
Frightful fear I then felt
That I wouldn't bathe for a week!

The Scarecrow, he was born without a brain
And the Tinman got all rusted from the rain
Because the Tinman had no heart
And because the Scarecrow was smart
Instead of walking to Oz, he'd taken a train

There once was a Marm with a dripping cold
Whose bright idea she feared would unfold:
Her deep scribed porcelain face
Was far harder to replace
Then a soaked sink her plumber could not hold.

Despite trials, and we’ve had many,
with tribulations, felt lost at sea,
we get up each day
with an effort to say,
for our freedoms we’ll fight, to be free.

I watched Mike Tyson fight
At 58 was no delight sight
But respect to him

My one-armed life which i everyday juggle
All the moments of weakness and parenthood struggles.
Although you are selfish and never are home
Besides a few tears and sometimes feeling alone
Your absence changed nothing, Im sill holding my own

To help make America ‘grate’ again

Santa got stuck in a narrow long chimney.
Struggled, wiggled for hours to get himself free!
He let out a Loud blast!
Landed on his Big ***!
His reindeer were laughing Hysterically!

Homegrown, fear fill eyes were unforgiving.

Because it still works for me
I can still wash my hands

Just before Christmas, the elves went on strike.
Santa told them to go take a hike.
But after exchanges,
the elves all got raises...
and a fleet of shiny new mini-bikes.

absence, anger, betrayal, business, confusion, corruption, depression,
I sometimes wonder about my dreams
I wanted to fulfill, but it's the themes
Which doesn’t match with the situations.
Strangely things I scramble functions,
But my soul can’t adjust, from inside it screams.

Grandpa snored loud by the fire,
Dreaming of treats he’d admire.
He woke with a yawn,
Found the cookies all gone—
Seems the dog’s now our chief cookie buyer!

Her pinup, hung high on the wall,
caught many a lad in its thrall.
As he reached for that Fawcett,
hit the soap, slid across it.
Thank goodness the sink broke his fall!

Trump quit his jobs at McD's flippin' beef
And drivin' a garbage truck both so brief
When Donald was asked why
He was quick to reply
Got my job back as Commander-In-Chief

In a public tanTrump the don won
As people opted for a new dawn.
Voted less a winner,
More against old banner,
Lo, Don Quixote’s returned as the don.

Clyde yearned for a kiss 'neath the mistletoe
But not a gal took notice of his woe
The ladies just twittered
As by him they skittered
His fly was unzipped and ALL was aglow

With reluctance the call she received
Though she had not perceived
That the call could have her forever changed
Perceptions and expectations revised
As the message she received
