Sequoia's Lawyers
The sycamore's riposte
The aspen's quiv'ring sigh
The chestnut's dream of what's to come
The willow's drooping eye
The hornbeam's pelt embossed
The baobab so glum ...
The oak's reputed smile
The rowan's knowing leer
The redwood's unabating span
The hazel's scream of fear
The copper beech's guile
The baobab so wan ...
If we can learn the sercret of the baobab, we'll know
What force prevents the marmoset from swinging to and fro
The truth is to be found in "Old Sequoia's Forest Lore"
So woodman, spare that axe ... unless Tom Sawyer's been before
