Whispered In a Tree Hugger's Ear

It told me it prefers they
and that they are sick and tired,
they wanted me to tell you

"It's your extinction buddy".

Very effective writing Maureen. The tree is very smart, that is why I like to cup my ear and listen to it. It's got many secrets and wise advise for an old girl like me. Thanks for sharing, have a great day.

ain't that a fact! Short story; in my local park, a good few years ago I was doing a bit of tree hugging when a dear old lady came up to me and said, "The toilets near the front entrance", I tried to explain but she was having none of it. Those trees now long gone :-(

Oh gawd, that's so funny. There's some missing trees only to be found in my heart too. xomo
