No Bad News

No Bad News

One of my favorite Broadway stage plays, I was fortunate to see;
Was a remake of “The Wizard Of Oz”, called “The Wiz”, so great it be!
Its music was pulse-pounding, it had me dancing in the aisles;
The acting was done superbly, my tears were mixed with smiles!
.
Evillene, The Wicked Witch, almost stole the show;
Her voice so very powerful, such notes that girl could blow!
Her song that most excited me, was given rave reviews;
It was very aptly titled, don’t gimme “No Bad News”!
.
My favorite part was the chorus, that the Witch did often say;
“Don’t nobody bring me no bad news, or you will dearly pay”!
One of her trembling subjects, had some bad news for her to tell;
After hearing it, she went ballistic, “Hang the sucker”, did she yell!
.
One might wonder where I’m going with this, what is he trying to say;
The answer is, I am sick of bad news, I want good news every day!
We all could use glad tidings, to put a smile upon our face;
That we’ve defeated Coronavirus, and fellow humans can embrace!
.
.
I wait for the day
When there is no more bad news
And we smile again

My Dear Brother Tony,

Your praising comments never cease to "ELEVATE" those who receive them.  You bring happiness and love to our hearts and Souls.  I am so fortunate to be able to incite these emotions in you.  Oft times, you bring sunshine, into an otherwise, cloudy day.

All my Love,

Dear Larry,

Lauren here. I’ve missed reading your work, but more importantly, I’ve missed you! Now let’s talk about your poem here: 
When I was in the 5th grade, I was in the drama club, which one of our performances were “The Wizard Of Oz” I was the munchkin, lol! Anyway, reading this brought me back to that moment. So thank you, because I needed a pick me up. 
Great work! 
Love, 
Lauren

My Dear Lauren,

I have so missed you too, and am so happy to hear from you!  In these horrid days we are now facing, I am so pleased that I could bring some joy to you.  Had I been casting the parts, you would have been Dorothy for sure.  And that's coming directly from The Wizard. Ha, Ha!

All my love,
Larry xxx
