• To and fro the branches swayed
    And though it's seen it's better days
    The willow gazed with pure dismay
    At the creature it had attracted

    It's beauty more than any other
    And long they seemed to watch each other
    Nature's intent, perfect lovers
    As odd as it may seem

    The creature squealed with much delight
    But because it was so small and light
    The tree's great size gave it a terrible fright
    So it neared the tree no futher

    The willow quietly looked on down
    But the creature's stillness made him frown
    So he let out a deep groaning sound
    And tried to look away

    The creature moved an inch or two
    And knowing just what to do
    It took some, just a few
    And held them in the air

    The tree gasped with a tremendous force
    And with a branch,though small and corse
    He picked up the leaves and said "Of course.."
    And the creature hugged his trunk
