For a certain segment of the population, remembering that year when you finally saw Dorothy open the door and Munchkinland was in color - COLOR! - on your TV set is a treasured moment. It felt like you had been let in on a big secret. So imagine, if you will, that someone has finally figured out the greatest mystery of all associated with The Wizard of Oz: What are the Winkie Guards singing as they march into the castle of the Wicked Witch of the West? (Yes, we didn't know they were called Winkies either.) Channel that scene and sing along: "All we own, we owe her." Right? No, no, it's "Oh we love the old one" Wait, no, it's "Oh we loathe the old one." Nope. Try "Oh we love, no one." Nah. The script actually reads "O-Ee-Yah! Eoh-Ah!" if the trivia on the website IMDB.com is to be believed. There's only one way to find out: Stop by the Sing-a-long Wizard of Oz at Tampa Theatre on Saturday or Sunday at 3 p.m. and be sure to watch the screen for the lyrics as they flash across.

Reviews for "The Wicked Witch Guard: Is It Time to Reevaluate their Purpose?"
1. Sam - 2 stars
I was really excited to read "Wicked Witch Guard" as I love fantasy novels and thought this book would be right up my alley. However, I was sorely disappointed. The writing felt shallow and the characters were one dimensional. I couldn't connect with any of them, and found myself getting bored with the story. The plot also felt rushed and disjointed, with little explanation or development. Overall, I wouldn't recommend this book unless you're a die-hard fan of the genre.
2. Emily - 1 star
I have to say, "Wicked Witch Guard" was probably one of the worst books I've read in a long time. The author seemed to have no idea what they were doing. The dialogue was clunky and unrealistic, and the plot was predictable and unoriginal. The main character was supposed to be this badass witch, but she came across as whiny and annoying. The world-building was also lacking, leaving me confused and uninvested in the story. Save your time and money, there are much better fantasy books out there.
3. Josh - 2 stars
I had high hopes for "Wicked Witch Guard" but unfortunately, it fell flat for me. The writing was mediocre at best, with awkward sentence structures and repetitive descriptions. The pacing was also off, with slow chapters followed by moments of rushed action. The magic system in the book was poorly explained and left me feeling confused. The potential for an interesting plot was there, but it never fully materialized. Disappointing read overall.
