A house landed on me
A great tragedy
All that's left is red shoes
And a little of my blues

A house dropped on me
That girl Dorothy
With her little dog Toto
Made my voice voce sotto

A house fell on me
I was standing you see
When I was, felled by a roof
In surpriseā€¦ lost my tooth

A house sat on me
And that Dorothy
Sat meek as a kitten
In revenge for house sittin'

A house dropped on me
Now I'll get Dorothy
On this I insist
Though, I'm fading like mist



Those of us who refuse to risk and grow get swallowed up by life. Patty Hansen.

Kethry dear heart, I love this, I always knew that Dorothy meant to drop it on the witch. I really think this is wonderful love it truly is utterly wonderful. Another special one.
Oh love you are just so brilliant at this. Now don't go drinking any water dear heart.
Thank you for the smiles
Take care love as always

Take back the hope you gave,- I claim
Only a memory of the same
