Trees and Bushes
Giant trees fell on my large car today
Executed it, pan caked it in the driveway
A forest of trees are coming to get me
Growing up around my house to kill me
Looking through my windows
Shady characters dressed in green
Covered in branches from trunk to toe
Scheming in the ground with dirty roots
I know I'm next
If I leave the house they'll hunt me down
Leave their roots behind and follow me
Fall on top of me while sleeping
I know the reason trees are taller than bushes
Dirty tricks are common in political seasons
They can't hide behind shrubbery easily
Bushes can't hide their identity either
But I'm confused
I asked my neighbor while pointing over there
What kind of bushes are those?
Why, everyone knows, he said
Those are called George Bushes
Trees and bushes… It's all the same to me
I still can't leave
