I think that I shall never see A poem as lovely as a tree

....
A tree whose hungry mouth is prest
Against the earth's sweet flowing breast;
A tree that looks at God all day,
And lifts her leafy arms to pray;
A tree that may in summer wear
A nest of robins in her hair;
Upon whose bosom snow has lain;
Who intimately lives with rain.
Poems are made by fools like me,
But only God can make a tree. (Joyce Kilmer)

I think that I shall never see
A poem as lovely as a tree
I'm sure my dog will disagree
For on a poem, you cannot pee.

A billboard lovely as a tree.
Perhaps unless the billboards fall,
I'll never see a tree at all.

a republican smarter than a tree
Who, when asked,
"Why are you stumped?"
Can answer only
"Carson or Trump?"
