Trees On a Slope By a River
A bicycle path along the river
wends beside the edge of trees
Planted there to keep the soil
from sliding down in nth degrees
The sassafras is from the middle
part of North America
Right by it sits the Trembling Aspen
fluffy seed that fly then fall
It's done with planning in an office
so people can walk safe and free
So they can stroll beside the river
and never think of plant disease
Because if one plant gets a sickness
all the others of it's kind
will bend under the natural illness
and denude the landscape when they die
