behold the 'wizard of oz'

(with sincere apologies to
mr sinatra & mann/hilliard)
in the wee small hours
of the morning
while the whole wide world
is fast asleep
my mummy lies awake and
thinks about the boy
and never ever thinks
of counting sheep

when her anxious heart has
learned its lesson
i'd have a dress-up costume
if only she'd been more organised

in the wee small hours of the morning
that's the time she gets most creative of all...

here is my wizard costume
for erin's fairy party
courtesy of
aunty steph's suggestion, google,
mummy's deliberate avoidance of fancy costumes
(as you can imagine it would only last 2 mins on me)
put together with copious amounts of al foil,
sticky tape, recycling of kitchen paraphernalia
and a whole lot of parental love (i.e. lack of sleep!)
