There are many things about OZ that most of you do not know. One is that the Wicked Witch of the West did not die………..she lives in the house at the bottom of the hill. The nice thing is that the flying monkeys are now my friends and continue to seek revenge upon her on a daily basis. Glenda and Dorothy had a big thing for each other and ended up living in Vermont as soon as Howard Dean instituted the Civil Union. They are very happy and now spend their days bottling maple syrup from the trees on their property. When Dorothy told the Scarecrow that she would miss him most of all…….I know why…..but I promised to never tell. It would blow your mind.
The Lion may have been cowardly but after that fat man behind the curtain gave him a medal he started his life of leather. He now lives in San Francisco in a leather commune and ain’t scared of nothin’. In fact last time I went to visit he scared me just a bit.
The fat man behind the curtain (i.e. the Wizard) was really Truman Capote. The munchkins are really the descendants of the original inhabitants of Earth. The rest of us are transplants from another galaxy, our home planet having died at the hands of our ancestors due to severe abuse………..looks like we did not learn much from that lesson.
Well, I learned a few lessons in Oz and can tell you that I am among the few who have witnessed Glenda and Dorothy exchanging their vows and in the same evening watched Xena and Gabriella profess their love for each other. I saw the Scarecrow show off the reason Dorothy missed him the most and watched as Clinton cloned Monicas.
It was a long evening.
I hope you enjoy the Tin Man’s stories and exploits since Oz.
What a delightful, witty, charming writer. Amazing, really.
The writer gained his insight and passion for the written word from a most beautiful and charming princess who cast a spell upon him that continues to this day. The most Magnificent Magical Marvelous Mary, Princess of the Outer Realm, Holder of the Keys to the Crystal Tabernacle!
She has also proclaimed herself to be the Goddess of Sweet Potatoes and Rescued Animals. Her groupies now include only Lilly Ann Richards and Sir Winston Churchill. Abigail Adams took her last nap in Septber, 2011.
I had an Uncle Elmer, and I adore sweet potatoes. Karma. MER

Hilarious! And love the SF mention, btw. I’m from California!
Thank you so very much for your comment! I am so glad you enjoyed the twisted humor.
I dunno.
Maybe you are Truman Capote, in an alternate universe, wearing a Tin Woodsman’s armor!
Whoever you are, you certainly write like a dream —
…..you humble me greatly with your words.

This cracked me up…I love your sense of humor!
So glad you enjoyed it………..the last paragraph is true…
Hello Tin Man…I saw that you stopped-by my blog today…thank you for visiting and for letting me know you were there.
Oh, My! So much to read on your blog. . . it’s great. Thank you for visiting my blog and liking my post on Pienza and my receipe from Liguria. I hope you will be back. I will!
Hmm, I sense a musical could be in your future… while I love Wicked, I’d love to see your prose set to stage!
I must tell you many of these ideas were put on the stage in San Antonio at Cornyation.
Oh, I so miss Fiesta! So glad that Alamo Heights night (the original one) started again last year (last Saturday of Fiesta), but so sad that we will miss it for a few years. But Germans & especially Mainzers I think, love to party (i.e. Fasnacht).
Thanks for stopping by! I’m thoroughly enjoying reading your blog, it’s so great and really well written.
Thank you so very much!
