The Social Tree

The most social thing on earth Social than the Social Networking Sites Tall with straight uniform trunk Unbranched trunk topped with a Tuft fanlike or featherlike leaves. Cresting with a plume of long feathery fronds Making a graceful silhouette of unique beauty With spiral arrangement of its wood fibers Which makes it a tree of unusual suppleness and strength Large evergreen leaves With bundles of vascular tissue Scattered throughout the trunks. Abundant throughout the tropics And thrive in almost every inhabitat therein The quintessential image of relaxed and elegant lifestyle A good friend in need, A good friend indeed Because of its versatility, Many people cannot do without it. Having as many uses as the year has days. And noted for productivity in the bible Imagine the way it comes to its full bearing After ten to fifteen years on earth. And still continue to bear for nearly a hundred years. Of great economic importance, Providing food, fibre, wine and oil Widely used in landscaping for its exotic appearance A useful ornamental tree This social palm tree

An informative and well written poem this is on a tree I wish I could see around here. But I live in a snowy area. Sure would prefer more tropical!!!
