Things That Should Grow on Trees

Things That Should Grow on Trees

Things that should grow on trees include:
big sea birds with 
extremely long wings, old-fashioned shoe 
horns, tape recorders who 
play sporadically cries of 
grief, blank
photographs, stamps with 
printed eyeballs, people with 
colourless or 
very nearly colourless hair and 
skin and 
pinkish eyes, the word 
unfortunately, the word 
regrettably, the word 
even though, miniature 
pianos, vampire 
teeth, leaf 
blowers, False 
IDs, illuminated loyalty 
cards, the watchful and 
attentive, damp 
clothes, pom 
poms, glass 
shards, pack of 
cards, rope knot 
balls, plastic 
trinket boxes, ashtrays (glass only), lips (too
animal lips), spines (too
animal spines), toast, headache 
tablets, running 
shoes, and
whores.
