For fxxk’s sake Dorothy
Let me show you how to use these shoes
With pancakes + syrup + lots of booze
With pizzazz + whimsy + improv cues
With maniacs + mavens + lookie-lous
With lions + tigers + Lincoln Park zoos
With putty + spackle + angel gooz
.
Enhance a moment
upgrade the view
Revamp your life
Revamp mine too
.
I entrust to you, D
These enchantment shoes
So use them wisely
And vanquish blues
.
My evil heart prevented me
From doing what I request of thee
Now go forth, I have said my piece
I’ll watch you as your spells increase
.
But know, D, that evil can still reign
For there are two things that I retain
One wraps my left leg, the other right
And there’s untold power in black and white
