The Flora and the Fauna

Said the fauna to the flora, upon the forest floor “Which tree is the tallest, is it the Sycamore?” The Tulip tree was listening and answered “it is me” To which the Pine responded “Can neither of you see?" "When it comes to being tall clearly I am very!” “I’m not so sure, you sappy bore”, chimed the nearby Cherry. “Such crowing from my forest friends and foolish paranoia” “It is I, without a doubt!” Exclaimed the great Sequoia “Nonsense!” said a gnarly tree “Till now I have not spoke" "The grandest tree, for all to see Is me the Mighty Oak!" The forest filled with endless boasts as the night came creeping The stately Spruce called for a truce, the willow tree was weeping. Said the Flora to the Fauna as the day departed, “Happy now my mossy friend, just look at what you started!”
