A H-Oz-erdous Occasion

 



   

   Sad that it was, my inebriated over-indulged state found my bladder full. Like the Scarecrow dancing down the yellow brick road I made my way to the john, and passed through the doors as happily as Dorothy entering the Emerald City. Funny, there are no stand-up pee’ers. I feel slightly out of place, a strangeness, like a possessed talking apple-throwing tree on a Kansas pig farm. I wonder why there is a women’s necessity vending machine on the wall. “That’s as weird as a horse of a different color”, I muse. I feel as disoriented as Dorothy reviving after her bump on the head, and I think to myself, “I don’t think I’m in Kansas anymore!” My happy mind quickly switches to the tune of ‘Merry Old Land of Oz’ and I pluck up some Cowardly Lion courage and push a stall door open… hmmm… strange oder… where have I encountered that before… my wife, I’m thinking… that Wicked Witch of the West… oh what I’d give for a Good Witch Glinda of the North right now!

 Even as I fumble with my trousers, which fit worse than a Lollipop Guild uniform on a fat Munchkin, for this was also a sit-down job… I hear another party enter, shuffling along like some Emerald City layabouts. I belch and fart quite loudly, and satisfactorily, I I might add, and proceed to take care of the Wizard’s business, so to speak. I’m humming as happy as the Scarecrow standing next to a bucket of water when I hear slight gasps outside the stall. Since my mind was somewhere over the rainbow, I paid them little attention. As I was done and stood up, the automatic flusher didn’t work. I sat down and got up several times to no avail, and felt as useless as Toto in the poppy fields. I find the button and push. Flush! Oh, what a great Wizard I am! Give me a medal! I push the stall door open and it is like Dorothy opening the door of her house to the Land of Oz. There before me were, like a city of munchkins, troops of girl scouts standing like threatening Winkies with their mouths agape. In the stunning silence a Dorothy Cabbage Patch doll hit the floor.

    Xenophobia had never picked a worse moment to attack. All flying-monkey hell broke loose. The evil little munchkins from the Lullaby League pointed and screamed, “Ewe! Man! Man! There’s a man in here! Ahhhhh!” I felt like the Wicked Witch melting, melting… Well, you know, in an instant, with three clicks of my heels I was outta’ there fast, and on my way back to Kansas, bub! All I remember after that was my mind whirring and dancing like the Scarecrow singing “If I Only Had a Brain”…

Oh what damage this will do to my pristine reputation...! But at least some writers will get a feel for alliterations here and leapfrog over me! Ah, the plight of an early entry!

    Thanks, Danna, I think I'm going to change my Pier One reference to something more 0z-y!

    this was amazing...I loved every reference. damn you...now I have the winkie's song stuck in my head and I'll be humming it for days. if you ever get the chance read the book "wicked: the life and times of the wicked witch of the west" it shows what a political mess Oz really was in the time of Dorothy.

    worse than a Lollipop Guild uniform on a fat Munchkin,... that made me laugh out loud!

    This was delightful. Thanks so much for entering.

    OMG, the Wizard of Oz if my favorite. I have almost everything you can think of that is Wizard of Oz. This was funny as hell. And the girls bathroom is, of course, so much nicer than the boys.

    Hugs and bites, Your Partner in Death

    just had to stop by for the first morning's smile to read this again, and now I see you've changed the backdrop to those evil smiley-faces on that yellow road border--really too cute! I used to hum that ooh-eee-ooh song going to work every morning myself.

    you know what I only just realized now though...that you spelled out "SEX" as a weird little acrostic to this write...very H-OZ-ERDOUS!!!

    and the luck of the Irish with you, too, Jo! Why did I watch Oz every Christmas season on our grainy tube-based black-and-white TV- why the Witch's evil Winkies, of course, with their immortal chant: "Oooooheeeeeooooh, Yoooooohhh Ohhh!"

    well, I clicked on NEXT IN CONTEST to see what my poem neighbor was doing and here you are! HOWDY NEIGHBOR!

    As a child, I watched the Wizard of Oz when it was aired once a year for two things...Toto and that "horse of a different color." I loved dogs, loved horses even more. Even years later when the daughter had me renting the movie so many times I was ready to pay the Wicked Witch to rub Dorothy out, I still loved that dog and that horse. So it's all to say I loved you brought the horse into your write! Where's Toto though, I miss him...

    I really loved how you drew this up...it's so un-Wizard of Oz that I'd love to see the movie! truly a most ummm, errr, ummm...INTERESTING piece of writing and I was laughing all the way!

    Good luck in the contest!

    Jo
