American Tree

A tree aches and cries
Barren, twisted, neglected
Its fullness defected:

The rings count 
Two hundred thirty-two
Its outer mostly me and you 
(Both real and lore) 
The center: those who came before.

A young fruit ripens on the tree:
Oh how it shall save!
Chosen for a shine utterly divine,
A boldness sleek and brave.

A shade of green on a tree of red?
Unique in feel and easily fed
To the hands with three fingers of five 
pulled from branches, barely alive?

A rush of change, a blush of feel
Suddenly the tree does reel
With excitement:
Could this be its time to heal?

But after picked (through times and ways)
Its flavor sours; a brown, crinkled, experienced daze.

Three fingers drop a bitter core
While the tree still lives in dire need
As ever as it did before.

The tree weeps as growth is fought,
Will it ever seed (true) change in thought?

*recite to Night Before Christmas

Who was this white haired Claus 
with buck-rabbit teeth? 
Carrying a ton of peanuts 
for everyone to eat.

Dragged in a sleigh 
pulled by Agnew and Nixon, 
who ran right beside 
old Donnar and Blitzen? 

He circled Camp David, 
A fast fly by; 
with lox and bagels 
for Jewish guys. 

A carpenters’ pencil 
was poised by his ear, 
and boxes of nails dangled, 
from the gear in the rear. 

Why! It's Jolly Ole Carter Claus 
draped in menorahs. 
Handing out home plans to 
the Arab before us. 

Visions of world peace 
danced in his head; 
as, he flew to Afghanistan
‘Fore noggin hit bed. 

When down from the sky 
in the form of deer dung, 
fell fruit tree seeds 
to be sown in the sun. 

And, as Carter Claus’ whip
cracked O’er Nixon's ear, 
as Agnew blanched, 
his eyes filling with tears. 

Droplets hit sand with 
a plop and a splatter 
’pon the fruit tree seeds with 
nary a clatter. 

The desert grew green. 
Trees sprouted and grew. 
Hearts filled with wonder 
bellies with stew. 

Homes were rebuilt, 
as before the fall. 
Cook fires were lit. 
Children grew tall. 

And Ole Carter Claus 
flew home in a daze, 
passing out sandwiches 
that Roslyn had made.
