I was thinking about trees.... <br />Spending their entire lives in one place <br />Totally dependent upon the elements <br />For their betterment or to their detriment.... <br />Trees always have visitors..... <br />Wanted and Unwanted <br />If not birds then it’s the monkeys or bears <br />Maybe a panther or a sloth.... <br />A tree can't ask them to leave <br />Or say who can stay and who should go.... <br />Trees are stuck with what they've got <br />For crying out loud they don't even have sex <br />The whole cross pollination thing <br />Just doesn't seem to cut it.... <br />I was thinking about trees.... <br />And decided..... <br />How lucky I am to be a well hung frog.... <br /> <br /> <br />(2007)<br /><br />Ted Sheridan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/can-t-see-my-princess-for-the-trees/
