Happy Trees

The oaks in our front yard,
like a pair of randy young studs,
fling about their flirtations
at every hussy passing breeze.
This is how they procreate
I understand, I understand…
but, Lord God Almighty
why does everything,
including my nose and truck,
have to be coated with their joy?

I'm covered with it here -- 2 oaks in my yard - but I'll never think of it the same again! :)

Fantastic Pat...I loved this! For me it's the pollen off the pine trees which is later in the season...it even gets in the house- a layer of yellow dust everywhere.

polona said...

wow!
funny and cute and annoying...

JaneDoughnut said...

Ha! I feel you on this one. What a great way to put your frustration. Can I share it with some fellow Southerners?

Life has a way of spreading its joy in ways we oft don't understand...Good one!

I prefer to have oak pollen on my truck than pine sap--I'm already dreading spring and the trees are just beginning to bud here.

Russell Ragsdale said...

Spoilsport! You'd take the pollen out of pollenating. Can't you see the smiles on the trees?

Seriously, what a fun poem Pat.
