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.
