Oaks

1/15/16
"

Waves battering the coasts
And many boats
To the point that some could no longer float

Stories about ghosts being spoke
Around fires beginning to smoke
Before the flames really started to roast


Oaks
Around the hills and slopes
Striving for growth

Telescopes
On a stand and post
Looking out for anything that may or may not approach


Hardworking and good hearted folks
Trying to make the most
For the benefit of both

A hoax
Put another person very close
To being looked at as a joke

Meanwhile the wise continued taking notes
So that they too knew the ropes
