Lori and I were able to watch an outdoor theatre presentation of "The Wizard of OZ" last night. Forgive me dear reader, but you know how I am and I how I am a bit quirky . . . but I felt as though I had three hours of personal therapy while watching the characters and the story unfold. I had actually been humming "If I Only Had A Brain" for the past week. The goofy (free I would say) Scarecrow is a humble soul . . . I love him!
I could while away the hours
Conferrin' with the flowers
Consultin' with the rain
And my head, I'd be scratchin'
While my thoughts were busy hatchin'
If I only had a brain.
I'd unravel ev'ry riddle
For any individ'le
In trouble or in pain
With the thoughts you'd be thinkin'
You could be another Lincoln,
If you only had a brain.
Oh, I could tell you why
The ocean's near the shore,
I could think of things I never thunk before
And then I'd sit and think some more.
I would not be just a nuffin'
My head all full of stuffin'
My heart all full of pain.
I would dance and be merry
Life would be a ding-a-derry
If I only had a brain--Whoa!

What a guy!
Now I've got that stuck in my head! I love your quirkiness!!
I love it! The guy who wrote that story is from Chittenango NY... my mom's Alma Mater.. did I spell that right? Anyway, the sidewalk is all paved in yellow bricks. Cracks me up.
Love the song, and yes, it's now stuck in my head too.
Quirky is fun. Wouldn't live life any other way.
