These Damn View-Blocking Trees!

These Damn View-Blocking Trees!

A Poem by Michael Stevens
"

Can't see the forest for...!

"
                                                        

 

You know, can anyone point me in the direction of the forest?

I was told it was around here somewhere, but so far,

all I see are these damn trees. Sure, they're pretty enough,

but I'm told I've just got to see the forest, it's really magnificent,

or at least maybe if I could see the b******s. What this place needs

is a visit from Clear-Cut Johnny, he'd solve that problem!

Handy dandy chainsaw, and those pesky trees wouldn't be smiling

any more--well--trees don't have a face, but you know what

I mean. Oh, come on! Don't pull that stunned cattle thing with me,

like you don't understand. Anyway, thanks for nothing!

Well, I'm off on my forest scavenger hunt, and you--

you need to get back to your job, of whittling decorative

Popsicle sticks or whatever, good luck with that!
