If Joyce Kilmer were allergic:
Trees
I THINK that I shall never see
A poem lethal as a tree.
A tree whose only goal to sneeze
Pollen ‘to earth's flowing breeze;
A tree, as I, to God doth pray,
For another breath, another day;
A tree, that in summer makes
Air I breathe; it, in irony takes;
Upon whose bosom snow, now is freezing;
‘Ere the Season, I’m free from wheezing,
To coexist? the cure, tis plain
We intimately live with rain.
Poems are played by fools like me,
But only God can make a tree.
