When it snows and my limbs begin to bend
under the weight, I relax
letting loose all worries and cares
When the North wind blows
I just curl in my roots
like toes in new Christmas shoes

She came to me one morning
without a leaf to bear.
I needed no fair warning
from the lass with twiggy hair.
She tickled my fancy twice,
and then brushed against me thrice.
The warm-up was very nice, but
her next move came with a price.
I paid for it dearly, and tipped her properly.
Then I asked,
“See you again next Friday?”

Please come and give the dear lady a piece of your mind.
Watch out for splinters.

The biggest man I know
is not really big at all
He’s always near to lend an ear
or to catch me when I fall
.
The wisest man I know
doesn’t claim to know it all
Though it’s plainly clear my father dear
is willing to heed the call
.
The greatest man I know
didn’t know he’d grown a tree
Although he knew just what to do
to bring out the best in me
.
.
Excess time limits
Zeroes claim sufficiency
Always more to gain
.
Speed loses it’s thrill
Passing belies danger
Too slow to fly right
.
Leftovers with bite
Words left out two nights to spoil
Lines become homeless
.
Meanings foster mold
Language to languish over
Properly kiss mine
.
To the bitter end
Middle ages fly faster
Hellish days drag on
.
Spread the crap around
Bottom foundations in growth
Tree’s sanctuary
.
Terms slip on sweet fruit
Wear them in then wear them out
Face a toothless grin
.
