“Reason in the Woods” by Reed Whittemore 🇺🇸 (11 Sep 19196 Apr 2012)
“The tree is lazy. It wastes time.
I am lazy. I waste time.
So I must be
A tree,” said the rock.
“No, you rock,” said the bird,
“Try again.”
“The tree is lazy. I’m a rock.
I must not be
Lazy,” said the rock.
“That’s better,” said the bird.
“I may be lazy,”
Said the tree,
“But I’m no tree.
I’m a birch.”
“They talk so stupidly,”
Said the man,
And rammed into the lazy rock birch bird tree.
