Can’t see the Forest for the trees?
Can’t see the trees for the forest?
I’ve alway noted that the
Forest so bitterly resents me
But I’ve found me
Share of friendly trees.
As I walk nightly through that
Menacing sylvan Hell
I’ve been known to
Encounter a kindly spruce
Or an understand birch.
In unison, though, all those
Stately anonymous trees
Lack the approachability
Of individuals and small orchards.
Evil faeries, gnomes, and trolls
Also tend quite often toward
Having a much easier time
Of doing their foul misdeeds
When all the flora remain
Conveniently aloof.
