Mother In Law Tree

Mother In Law Tree What if I was to see a certain tree Appearing in poem written by me Saying what tree was and was not Never sweating or ever getting hot. Next to tree was field that had stone While it was always standing alone Then again to me it had occurred Never heard my tree say a word. When I saw tree from sea or land Branches looked like fingers in a hand; Never saw it sitting on a throne Tree always stood there all alone. God with bark tree did dress and bless And couldn't ever hear tree confess All around tree was soil and dirt Did not see it with a shirt or skirt. God for me my tree He made On one side you will find shade Road horse by with feet in stirrup, And from tree came maple syrup. When tree experienced a mishap Down it would drain much sap And when on tree it did rain Water slid off and did not remain. Walked around tree wearing boots And underground were many roots Had been respectable and brave; Beside it had been buried a grave. Did die and last time tree I saw They had called it a mother in law Around tree grass was all green Two graves, tree grew up between. James Serious Mysterious Horn Retired Veteran and Soldier
