So I get online and Google "Wizard of Oz lyrics." Copy a few down. Then proceed to sing "The Wicked Witch is Dead" and "Follow the Yellow Brick Road" into my computer and listen.
Yep. I’m a Munchkin.
Then I try recording again one of my poems about reincarnation. It’s laughable. I add Echo effect and that helps a teeny bit. I record and re-record and use my bestest, deepest, big person voice I can find (actually, when I say Munchkin, I don’t mean that I have one of those sweet, little-girl voices, I mean Oz Munchkin) and do a run-through without a hitch. Then I listen and while I sound a little better, the deep breather in the background does too.
I forgot the drip coffepot was on.
