A/N: Sorry that this took a while to update, but I haven't been in the poem mood lately and I've been busy with my Rent fanfic. Notice I changed this selection description to poems and songs. That's mostly because of the last chapter and this one. (I don't expect there to be any more songs.) This is a spoof on 'No One Mourns the Wicked', only Fiyero's the subject and Boq is Glinda. I wrote this mostly to torment my Fiyero-loving friend :) Btw, this is a mix of book and musical.
Diclaimer: Don't own this song or the characters!

No One Mourns the Winkies
CITIZENS OF OZ:
Good news!
He's dead!
The Winkie Prince is dead!
The Winkiest prince there ever was
The Winkiest of all of us here in Oz
Is dead!
Good news!
Good news!
SOMEONE IN THE CROWD:
(spoken) Look! It's Boq!
BOQ:
(spoken) Fellow Ozians:
(sung) Let us be glad
Let us be grateful
Let us rejoicify that goodness could subdue
The Winkie workings of you-know-who
Isn't it nice to know
That good will conquer Winkiness?
The truth we all believe'll by and by
Outlive a lie
For you and -
SOMEONE IN THE CROWD:
No one mourns Fiyero
ANOTHER PERSON:
No one cries "He won't return!"
ALL:
No one lays a lily on his grave
MAN:
The good man scorns the Winkies!
WOMEN:
Through their lives, our children learn
ALL:
What we miss, when we misbehave:
BOQ:
And Goodness knows
The Winkie's lives are lonely
Goodness knows
The Winkies die alone
It just shows when you're Winkie
You're left only
On your own
ALL:
Yes, Goodness knows
The Winkie's lives are lonely
Goodness knows
The Winkies cry alone
Nothing grows for the Winkies
They reap only
What they've sown
BOQ
(spoken): Are people born Winkies? Or do they have
Winkieness thrust upon them? After all, he had
a wife. He three children, as so many do:
FIYERO:
How I hate to go and leave you lonely
SARIMA:
That's alright - it's only just one month
FIYERO:
But know that you're here in my heart
While I'm out of this dump…
BOQ:
(spoken) And of course, from the moment he was changed,
he was - well – different…
MAN IN MOB:
It's happening!
WOMAN IN MOB:
What?
MAN IN MOB:
Something's happening!
WOMAN IN MOB:
Not now!
MAN:
I feel no bones
WOMAN:
I see some straw
ALL:
It's a newly fangled,
Prickly, tangled-
WOMEN IN MOB:
(scream)
MAN:
(spoken) Sweet Oz!
LITTLE BOY:
(spoken) What is it? What's wrong?
MAN:
How can it be?
WOMAN:
I think I'll fall!
MAN:
It's atrocious!
WOMAN:
It's so tall!
BOTH:
Like a yellow prickly cactus
This Winkie is unnaturally
ALL:
Straw!
MAN:
(spoken) Run away! Run away!
BOQ:
(spoken) So you see - it couldn't have been easy!
ALL:
No one mourns the Winkies!
Now at last, he's dead and gone!
Now at last, there's joy throughout the land
And goodness knows
We know what Goodness is
Goodness knows
The Winkies die alone
BOQ:
He died alone
ALL:
Woe to those (Woe to those)
Who spurn what Goodness is
They are shown
No one mourns the Winkies
BOQ:
Good news!
CROWD:
No one mourns the Winkies!
BOQ:
Good news!
ALL:
No one mourns the Winkies!
Winkies!
Winkies!
