Completely Unaware
He sits upon a diamond throne
Loved, revered, and all alone
Bright as sunlight, sad as stone
Wishing the pain would lessen
If Dorothy knew she'd surely weep
The Tin Man's rust would run neck deep
And Lion's roar would ring the keep
But he makes no confession
He longs for open, slow-houred days
For endless fields of evening haze
For laughing crows he cannot scare
Their insults now he'd truly bear
To be Completely Unaware
Where once his empty brain was clear
It now was strained with stabbing fear
And jabbing, poking thoughts – a tear
Rolls down his blank expression
The Wizard placed pins in his head
"Now, this will make you sharp!" he'd said
And so began what finally lead
To Scarecrow's great depression
To be a hollow-headed fool
Not knowing emeralds from a mule
To wave and flap in breezy air
A burlap sack without a care
To be Completely Unaware
The smartest guy in all of Oz
Is taking off the day because
He has no time to make the laws
He's dealing with his blessing
(Based on The Wizard of Oz – L. Frank Baum)
