Do you remember the tale of 44 trees
That were in the forest of Prachin Buri
A woodcutter and his team traveled to find
And found themselves in a bit of a bind
For scammers had tried to sell them the trees
They did not own but still took the money for these
By the time that woodcutter had worked out what happened
The money gone no trees and the scammers in the wind
For justice now the woodcutter seeks
And goes to the local Police then to speak
But at first they say this not a Police matter
With a Lawyer then court you will need to chatter
The Public Defender agreed and then called
The accused said scammers to come to his hall
They appeared and spoke briefly but no agreement for now
Telling a story that money was with another who was out of town
So what could the woodcutter do but agree
To wait for the others return and then see.
It seems all was lost for no contact was made
What further recourse on these people can be made
The woodcutter says they will try one more time
They go to their local Police Station to find
What can be done is this not a criminal matter
To take money for something you don’t own then scatter
But this time the Officer surely agrees to move forward
For this incomplete transaction was a clear case of fraud
But alas he can only take a statement and complaint for now
The local Police must issue warrant you must go back somehow
So another full day out on the road
The poor woodcutter carries the load
Without money or trees how can he survive
Can he recover what has been lost to once again thrive
The Police at the station took sometime to agree
But then issued summons for the defendant party
So home went the woodcutter again to wait
To hear from the Police of the accused party’s fate
But alas when the phone rings it isn’t good news
Summons served but no answer what more can he do
The Police said you must come again to relog the report
And this time the officer said with a taut
If you travel a day we can promise to you
We will serve another summons to those who are due
And this time when delivered if they refuse to be seen
We will issue a warrant to arrest them wherever they’ve been
So on goes this tale of woe
The 44 trees are still a no show.
