Acorns

If you’ve an oak tree in your yard, You might get clonked a bit too hard By acorns which come raining down As cooler weather comes to town. The acorn, with its jaunty cap, Won’t nail you with a gentle tap But one that’s apt to leave you bruised So Mother Nature stays amused. Beware then of the sneak attack. A gust of wind may cause a whack; And only then you might dispute That harm can’t come from something cute.
