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.
