The Wizard Of Oz - Glinda's Plan and into Oz

(Continued from Suldog's Plan)

Just as a refresher, this little rhyme
Shows Suldog's goal, after biding his time
He planned this nasty and dastardly deed
To quench his hunger for power and greed."

altogether . . . . . . . . . "Booooooooooooooooo!"

__________________________

But meanwhile elsewhere an urgent crisis meeting was underway in blogOzland

Four beautiful queens of Sheba spent the morning deep in conversation inside a northern castle. There was an air of expectancy! Never before had the entire population of Oz been under threat by so powerful a foe.

A foe yet hidden from all but a few in the know

"It's not all Suldog's fault! He's been lost to the enemy! . . . . and so has Lakeviewer . . . . and so has Crystal Jigsaw! All three have all been 'processed' and no longer remember anything concerning who they really are and in their current state of mind they think their present is their reality. As they are, particularly Suldog, they are terribly dangerous but we must try to rescue them. First we have to protect those uncorrupted from these three and this foe and then see what we can do about rescuing those 'processed' later! Are we all agreed?"

Glinda, known as Lady Janine from the province of Sniffles and Smiles, was speaking. She is known as the good witch of the North. All three companions nodded in approval, still wearing serious expressions on their faces.

Lady Meredith, Lady Cherry and Lady Lola sat attentively on the edge of their chairs as Glinda leaned forward and spoke quietly, "I have a plan; it must go without a hitch and you all have a part to play . . . . . ."

She continued . . . "Look! ¬ it's starting - Dorothy is running away with Toto TinkaBelle - she'll soon see David posing as a Professor Marvel - he has an urgent message for her to pass to Eddie. I know we are all looking forward to seeing him - we all know him so well, but alas he always wants his fantasies and freedom - and perfect situations must go wrong occasionally - but enough of that for now. Eddie is the key as long as he wears that gormless expression and always struts around looking like a straw Scarecrow seeking a brain - what wonderful cover! They're bound to fall for it. Lady Marguerite is playing along with Suldog but we all know Eddie has a roving eye and she's caught his fancy right now - as he did to all of us once - isn't it madness he can't be mine, ours . . . . oh I don't know any more!"

"Look!! . . . Marvel has persuaded Dorothy to return home - she'd better hurry because Breeze has orders to begin the storm, later intensifying it to a twister - then events will be unleashed which we have to watch and manage very carefully. We must be ready to intervene at Munchkinland. Eddie is in place just outside the village, so is Michael, further on, disguised as a silly Tin Woodman and further on along the Yellow Brick Road is Brian disguised as a Cowardly Lion. By the time they reach Emerald City our plan will be well under way. Quick - it's starting - we must ready ourselves!"

Meanwhile two invisible forces met head on, arguing for domination and each in turn had her say as their battle raged - First was Breeze who blew gently at first, gradually intensify until she domineered with a huge and powerful tornado in Kansas. Then Breeze blew herself out and was subdued eventually by Tranquility and Stillness

(The story progresses)

Dorothy had sung a song
About a Rainbow bright and long
She wondered if at where it ended
All her troubles would be mended.

You see from home she'd run away
To keep that nasty Miss Gulch at bay
From stealing her beloved Tonto
She'd run for many miles, and pronto!

She met a man, a fortune teller
He said I'm David - not that 'feller'
Professor Marvel, saying, "Are you ready
To take my message to straw hunk Eddie?"

"tell him . . . . .

"he must look straight at his foe's eyes
And not to listen to their lies.
Tell Eddie that they cannot stand it
And he will beat them - I command it!"

"And now go home, its getting rough
The wind is blowing very tough".
She said to him, "OK Mister!"
And then she saw a mighty twister.

She kicked open the garden gate
And then she saw her nasty fate
She could not get into the bunker
The worry of it nearly sunk her.

She crashed into the house instead
And landed firmly on her head
This made her to fall into a sleep
And see strange things when counting sheep.

The house did shudder and did fly
High in the air and into sky
She marvelled as she saw a cow
Flying past - she knew not how.

And then a granny in a chair
Waved and smiled when in mid air
She smiled and was mildly elated
When her rocking chair rotated.

She saw a woman on a bike
Who she knew well and didn't like.
T'was Almira Gulch - the bitch!
Who changed before her 'to a witch!

She took off quickly on her broom
And quickly made a sonic boom.
She marvelled at her aerobatics
And how she skimmed the roofs and attics.

Then all was still and even handed
Because the house on ground had landed.
Dorothy and her little dog
Looked and walked outside 'agog'.

For everything she saw looked fuller
With detail painted deep in colour
She thought she'd found where rainbow ended.
It was the place where colours blended.

She waited there for a few seconds
"Methinks there's someone here", she reckons
And then a face or two appeared
And slowly to her several veered.

"You are a good and powerful witch
To kill another in this ditch
That lies below the house that's landed
Upon the witch who's power's disbanded." "The wicked witch of East is dead
That heavy house it squashed her head
And now her Cherry shoes are yours
According to our rites and laws."

Dorothy asked, "Who are you?
And who are these people in this queue?
For you are becoming very many
Where's your leader, have you any?"

"I'm their leader, Marcy Poppins
I always come to meet new 'drop ins'
That wicked witch was from the East
So nice of you to kill the beast!"

"She held all Munchkins in her power
Until you freed us at this hour
You have to be a witch of note
The strongest one that any wrote."

"Oh no I'm not a witch at all!
I'm just a girl and not too tall!"
And then a lot of people came
To see their hero, now of great fame.

"We're from the village and nice folk",
Marcy told her, as she spoke,
"Our group is known as Village People
From far and wide beyond church steeple."

"There's Eileen, Jerelene, Rebecca, Diana, Lisa, Jackie, Marcy, Bernie, Teresa, Wanda, Linda Higgins, Angie

To put that lot into verse
Would make me sweat and start to curse
Their addresses if you do come Marcy's way
Are on her site, Blessings Each Day

Four silver orbs floated towards them from the sky, approaching nearer and nearer and becoming larger and larger, fully materialising into human form and eventually settling nearby. They were all beautiful ladies dressed in white each holding a silver wand and each smiling at Dorothy, who looked at Janine, enquiring of them all, "Which witch are you? . . . . and you? . . . . and you? . . . . . and you?"

"We are all slightly different and we all come from the North - I am practically perfect in every way and my name is Glinda. I am the good witch of True North and these ladies are also powerful white witches and my companions."

The next witch stepped forward

"I am Lola, mostly a good witch of the Magnetic North.

My blog site is Algio, Olio & Peperoncio and I am known for my magnetic personality - I am good for most of the time but occasionally I stray a little because if you must know I have rich Italian blood coursing through my veins and I am only human . . . . . . . . . and by the way I dress like this on Friday and Saturday nights when I pop into Rome to look for the local talent!

The next witch stepped forward

"I am Lady Meredith of The Things We Carried. I am the good witch of Grid North. I too sometimes have a slight weakness for men in uniforms, men with a good sense of humour and a men who are romantic - if all three qualities are present in one man, as in the case of one man I know, then my knees go weak, my eye lashes flutter and I hear romantic symphonic music in my ears and I walk around in a daze. "

The next witch stepped forward

"I am Lady Cherry of The Girl from Cherry Blossom Street - I am the good witch of Due North and Mr Eddie loves my cherry red boots and white dress and last year I kissed him on the cheek and he still won't wash the lipstick off."

Suddenly there was a blinding FLASH and a puff of RED SMOKE followed by a cackle of laughter and a blood curdling shriek that none had heard in their entire life time!

All except the witches rushed for cover!

.

It was Suldog, the wicked witch of the West
Whose aerobatic prowess was simply the best
He looped the loop and victory rolled
With such precision they were all left cold.

He buzzed them all this way, and then he returned
They gazed at his flying as he twisted and turned
He landed quickly in a puff of red smoke
With a thick acrid smell that made them all choke!

______________________

Well well well! What have we here! Little Dorothy and her pathetic little dog! Toto TinkaBelle indeed!

Where are my red shoes? I claim them from my sister lying dead beneath that house.

G I V E T H E M TO ME

Just then a woman stepped into view waving her arms like a mad thing!

"No! I want them!

I WANT THEM!!

THEY ARE MINE!!"

It was Fat, Frumpy and Fifty, who shouted at the top of her voice, "Now look what you have done! I am waving my arms about in a tantrum - MUMMY, Moanie, I WANT THEM!!

LET ME HAVE THEM!

I WANT MY PRINCE CHARMING!!

Glinda - "I think you are in the wrong film - you should be in Cinderella, just down that road, first on the left, and they are glass slippers and not red shoes!"

"Oh! Sorry my mistake OK! Bye!"

____________________

Suldog - I am not in the wrong film for I am the powerful wicked witch of the West and I claim my shoes - NOW"

He was about to wrench the shoes from his deceased sister when they vanished and appeared on Dorothy's feet.

Suldog - "Holy Mackerel on ten thousand fishing lines! Give them to me or I will get some white chalk and draw a giant rude man on your nearest hillside and it will be bigger and better than the British one because I am American!"

Glinda - "Go away you silly little man - you have no power here in Munchkinland - boo! and go!"

Suldog - Very well - but I will get you Dorothy and make you give me the red shoes elsewhere - you have not heard the last of me!"

FLASH

Off he went in a puff of red smoke to the cheers of the Munchkins and Village people.

Glinda - "Dorothy, as long as you wear these shoes you are safe from the wicked witch of the West. Keep them on along the Yellow Brick Road on your way to The Emerald City. You shall meet a straw scarecrow just outside this village - stay with him and there are two more friends along the road as well!"

Glinda (to the other witches) - I can just see Eddie in the field there. We must see him!

Meredith - "Yes! Wasn't it good?

Cherry - "Yes! Wasn't it fine?

Lola - "Isn't it madness?

Glinda - "He can't be mine!"

. . . . . come let us tell the villagers about it!

Lola - "Yes I'll video it for him while you three sing.

The four ladies STEPPED forward and took STEPS to make themselves even more glamorous and STEPPED onto the stage to tumultuous applause. They looked stunning! Cherry led, followed by Meredith and the little brunette was Glinda making a lovely little wiggle as she began to sing.



Even though they were smiling at the end of the song inside the four ladies cried, Dorothy cried, Toto TinkaBelle cried, Marcy Poppins cried, all the Village People cried, all the Munchkins cried, even Suldog, Lakeviewer and Crystal cried because they were watching in Crystal's magic Jigsaw . . . . and not far away the tears were rolling down Eddie the Hunk's face for he too had seen them sing on his mobile Skype broadband service provider in a field nearby
