Harry this another I have just twigged. The old oak once a shoot from an acorn, it's trunk now acting as a jack holding up its branches, (a timberjack). The truth is my Mrs is very poorly and my mind is not working as it should with all the worry, so if I still can I will change your 3 to a 1. No, I have already used the option, my apology, to you and all. Will get back to you soon, Mick

Tis true, I can see it sprouting and slamming itself up in glory. The timberjack, is this a lumberjack also?

In just eight words you've created a fear that the young sapling will see its "father" taken down. Excellent haiku, Harry!
