RUBY by Jamztoma
the witch wanted the #ruby slippers
but Dorothy refused
saying: no, they're my mother's!
the witch cast a spell on Dorothy
and Dorothy began to waver
I saw all this and screamed:
"the ruby slippers are enchanted
let's use them
to get back to Kansas!"
"Good idea!"
was Dorothy's answer.
together we cited a spell
and held each other's hands.
we were so eager to get back to Kansas..
however the magic failed
somehow the ruby shoes
could not prevail
soon we were transported
back to Oz
and there we dwelt amongst
terror and bombs.
