Talking to the Trees
When there’s no one around.
Nothings lost there is no cost
Riposte or bad reaction
Safe secure and sensible
And a simplistic distraction.
Some use drugs or alcohol
To ease the vocal cords
Talking to the trees
Have other rewards.
It’s best to pick a paddock
Out with the birds and bees
To have a conversation
Talking to the trees.
Find a place with some space
Then lie down on the ground
Ease out the frustrations
In a place, you can’t be found.
It eases the frustrations
Use any words you wish
Do it swimming in the sea
Tell it to a fish.
Some people tell their doggies
Or little pussycats
I prefer an herbaceous tree
Now hang onto your hats.
If you’re caught in conversation
With a tree, fish, or a hound
Pick your place carefully
And make sure you’re not found.
