"IF I'DA BEEN A TREE...."

*******************************************************
"SOLITARY TREES...IF THEY GROW AT ALL,  GROW STRONG." ---Winston Churchill
*******************************************************

If I'da been a tree
Wanting to make a statement...

If I'da been a tree
Wanting to be  a loner
and "hang out"....

If I'da been a tree
Wanting "my space"....

If I'da been a tree
ticked off at all other trees...

I'd I'da been
"a snooty, conceited tree..."

If I'da been a tree
Totally fed up with
hypocrisy....

If I'da been a tree
Thinking I was "a cut"
above all the other trees....

If I'da been a tree
that wanted to be...
noticed...

If I'da been a tree
that hated crowds....

Yes, if I'da been a tree

          and just had to be---

          the only tree...

          So that you couldn't see

          the forest because of me...

 I think, I'da selected...

 A WARMER CLIME!
