AN OAK TREE IS A WONDERFUL WORLD AND A PERFECT SHELTER !
Last week I sheltered under an Oak Tree
From the rain ! I looked up and saw a whole .......
New World ~ which really stirred my Soul
And had a lasting *AWE* effect on me !
I saw a World of Branches and of Leaves
Spreading out as far as eye could see
Such a perfect habitat of sheaves
Spreading out each side and down to me !
Many insects thrived inside those branches
Dragonflies & Butterflies each has a perfect perch
The Birds & Bees my hungry eyes entrancing
As through the Branches for more Life I search !
The Whole World in an Oak Tree ~ what a sight
I vowed ~ protect Old Oaky ~ day & night!
But one fine day there come the AXE-MAN
With his CHAIN-SAW ~ more hated than the TAX-MAN
And so I stood my ground ~ placed barbed wire all around
And sang an old refrain ~ that came to me !
An ancient ditty that my Mammy sang to me
About a Slippery Elm Tree ~ Woodman spare that Special Tree !
Go chop an ASH an ELM a PINE
But save OLD OAKY there ~ that*s MINE
From many a storm He*s sheltered me
WOODMAN just for ME ~ please save that OLD OAK TREE !
Thanks for visiting ~ comments welcome ~ Love BRIAN 💛💛💛
