Can pine cones actually predict how harsh winter will be? If a harsh winter is on the way, pine trees create more pine cones.Thinking if squirrels & birds share their opinion on the coming season, they will collect more pine seeds & stock up ahead of time Atop a decorative table a basket of pinecones sit festive and clean No resin to speak of no brittle edge left, from the forest of dreams A little girl with a tub full of glue stickied and sparkled until two Til' a pinecone flew out of the pile and yelled, "Tell me, what is new! " They talked for a while then, she hopped into bed; Santa arrives with a jolly old bounce, leaving a doll with a flounce Down in the valley the lumberjacks cut, but up in the Country their sought Thank God for the pinecones that talk and for those that do not Its gonna be a long cold winter so "wear your winter mitts" says the pinecone to a Jolly Santa, who jiggles and jangles then laughs with a tickling fit... Atop a decoartive table the pinecones arranged all with shine, ready for a Christmas of love, that arrives just on time.

The first thought to pop into my mind was that squirrels and birds must feel as upset at people gathering pinecones, as people get trying to read a book with pages torn out . . . . .Enjoyed! Aloha!
