O Linden Tree

O Linden Tree Were I a bee I’d buzz around you endlessly. Your perfume’s key, On street or lea, To lure with much intensity. But as for me, Sincerity Demands the truth, so golly gee, I’d love to see A linden tree With blossoms that are fragrance-free!

Very cleverly written!...I understand that you don't want to park your car under a linden tree either, as their honey is super-sticky. Sounds like a good tree to see---from a distance. LOL. Nicely done, Ilene! :) gw
