Emerald Alert


People of Oz slip inside
our citizens for their mischief.
They are all terrorists in Oz,
or worse.

It was the people from Oz,
tear-stained fathers would say.
The President calls the Army,
but soldiers only stand, vigilant,
while scarecrows slip into their bodies
and the heavens rain friendly fire.

Oz has blown off the maps
so the bombs cannot find it.

The terrorists of Oz
have already infiltrated Kansas.
You will know our true patriots
by the way they search your eyes
for flying monkeys, even now,
sneaking inside
