Tree Trimming

Thanks for your service,

In the middle:

Noticed very little,

By the by,

Many in the Cars,

The Trucks, the Buses,

Have passed you on the way:

To bars

And you stood quietly,

Giving us fresh air,

As we didn’t seem to care,,

Now that you are bare,

More aware,

Of your trunks, and your twisted

Arms,

Your swaying branches and course,

Oh

—-A lone man takes a photo,

And gives a hug.

It’s Driver Doug!

And he won’t forget that hot

July in stopped traffic,

Where he did stop–

Under your shadow’s shade.

A Glade! A Glad,

Gladiator,

Preventing another radiator,

Overflow.

Go. Go. Go.

Slow.

And wave goodbye.
