Watch Out For the Trees

If you go skiing, watch out for the trees.
 This is a warning, take heed if you please.

 Some would tell you this I'm sure,
 An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.

 Watch out for the trees of life that get in your way,
 If you see them first, you'll have a much better day.

 Life can be a breeze, and you can live in ease,
 If you'll watch out for those trees.
