A TINSEL TREE

I GREW UP WITH A TINSEL TREE

AND THAT WAS JUST FINE WITH ME

IT WAS A REAL BEAUTY

WE HAD THIS LIGHT CONTRAPTION

THAT SPUN ROUND LIKE A FAN

AND THE INTERACTION

WAS SOMETHING REALLY GRAND

THE TREE CHANGED COLORS MAGICALLY

AND TRULY FILLED OUR HEARTS WITH GLEE

ASSEMBLING IT AND DECORATING

WAS A FUN PROJECT

WE NEVER KILLED A CHRISTMAS TREE

SO I HAVE NO REGRETS

I NEVER UNDERSTODD

KILLING TREES THAT WOULD

LAST A WEEK OR TWO

JUST NOT RIGHT TO DO

MAKES ME SAD TO THINK OF THEM

I SEE IT AS A PROBLEM

PLANT A  TREE INSTEAD OF KILLING

YOU WILL FIND IT MORE FULFILLING

OR BUY ONE YOU CAN USE YEARLY

LIVING TREES WILL THANK YOU DEARLY

 

 

Author's Notes/Comments: 

SOMETHING I FEEL STRONGLY ABOUT...GLAD WE NEVER HAD A DEAD TREE...IT JUST SEEMS SO WASTEFUL TO ME...I NEVER UNDERSTOOD CUT FLOWERS EITHER...PLANT THEM AND LET THEM LIVE OUT THEIR LIFE...DON'T CUT THEM DOWN IN THEIR PRIME...SUCH SAD TRADITIONS SOME PEOPLE HAVE...THOUGHTS TO PONDER...THOSE ARE MY FEELINGS ON THAT SUBJECT...I AM SURE YOU HAVE YOUR OWN BUT WORTH EXPLORING THESE...
