Last Munchkin, Mickey Carroll, dies



1919 -2009


Why is this significant to the Broke But Still Drinking readers? Because now I can finally go to sleep each night without looking under my bed. The Munchkins, of the Wizard of Oz, have caused many of sleepless nights for children all around the world.

"We represent the Lullaby League

The Lullaby League, the Lullaby League.

And in the name of the Lullaby League

We wish to welcome you to Munchkin Land!"

This song would ring through my head as I held the covers up close to my chin, peaking from the corners of my eyes, hoping the munchkins only lived in the land of Oz, and not under my bed.

God rest your soul, Mickey, and good night children.

Sleep well.

Ok, one last scare.

I have an equally terrifying fear of clowns, so I get it.
