Leafs of Leaves

Leafs and Leaves

If a leaf lives in Canada, does more than one look like a pile of leafs or leaves?

If I were to take those leafs to America, should they still either be called
leafs or really be called leaves?

To read about subject, more pages someone will have to leaf through.

It seems to be beliefs that someone believes in.

There is a chief who is chief over a tribe of Indians who needed a chief.

He has a meeting with a council of chiefs where each one achieves what             they had in mind. The chief grows old and they have to relieve from his        position as Chief and the chief reason is due to poor health. 

Should they leave the Chief in his current chief position which has been the
highest one of all and chief over all chiefs?

What happens to the Chief's wife when the chief dies? Does she still retain
her position as the past chief's wife even though the past chief is deceased
or is she   only widow of the past chief? 


Is the wife either Mrs. or Ms. Chief who now misses the Chief who did die           and pass away?


Now that the Chief is missed and not wanting to make or cause any further
mischief or alarm, what do you think?    I am going to leave the leaf and           Chief issue up to you. Will I ever obtain or find any relief from the whole           chief and leaf issue thing anyway? 

Put this entire thing into whatever poetic form you want to or would prefer.            I will defer to whatever you prefer. 

My mind and head I just had thumpted
Was I politically correct or poetry bankrupt?
