If something bad is happening to the Animals, someone's got to tell the Wizard. That's why we have a Wizard.

Elphaba went to the Park...

Oh, Miss Elphaba, the things one hears these days.

I've heard of an OxA professor from Quox
No longer permitted to teach
Who has lost all powers of speech
And an Owl in Munchkin Rock
A vicar with a thriving flock
Forbidden to preach
Now he can only screech!
Only rumors - but still -
Enough to give pause
To anayone with paws
Something bad is hppening in Oz.
