A Tall Tall Tree

At the end of the forest Stood a spruce tree so tall From miles away it was seen by all In the spring it’s bristles we’re green and bright So shiny that some even glistened the nite In the winter it’s tip was topped by snow Dangling iceIcles made it appear, from afar an elegant chandelier A wandering lumberjack , came across the tree He shouted out loud, this tree is for me His chainsaw had teeth made of cold iron It sounded so loud it roared like a lion Squirrels,chipmunks, raccoons and birds There home now in danger By this funny looking stranger In their critter language they spoke together Mr lumberjack began to laugh He laughed and laughed he asked, is this a joke? He shouted out loud this tree is for me But it was no Joke nor was it a hoax Within seconds, vines sprung down flying branches flew through the air Prickly needles began to spear Flooded by sap the chainsaws gears Mr lumberjack ran away He never returned to the tall tall tree The tree shall be seen by many many eyes It will glow in the dark and sparkle in the rain And never again be taken in vain
