Similar in thought, word and deed---
Wrought with allusions to scores of books
Mark Twain, Edmund Spenser and some Fairy Taled nook---

And so had Eiffel 65 it's true.
The Lion is a coward because he's mean
The Tin Man has no heart, because he cannot love she
The Scarecrow has no brains, but has a dull wit
Yet the lion fought back the hordes
And the Tin Man also wept.
Witches do not live in civilized lands
The Emerald City is so green, I understand.
On chapter 11 I half way have finished
Now I see the book and movie are oh so different.
