Whatever happened to Treebeard?
He’s chopped up in my woodshed
his limbs stacked in neat piles
his head is now my chopping block
his dead eyes stare for miles.
His fingers are all kindling
his toes a rack of logs
while all the bark from off his trunk
is bedding for my dogs.
But what of Treebeard’s wisdom
and courage in the fight?
They’re gone to fill the legends
that warm our souls at night.

That wooden doorframe was once a tree and had feelings too?
If only doors could talk.....
The Lorax isn't quite as large as Fangorn 🕊️🙏
Nowhere near as big in my mind!
