Monkey-Puzzle
By Stephanie Batts
An
evergreen tree of a very strange kind,
Its long
branches are covered with leaves like thorns.
So tough
and prickly that, they say,
Even
birds do not sit upon them
Some
specimens have been known to reach a height of sixty meters,
And live
for thousands of years
They call
this amazing, wonderful, tantalizing, enchanting, exquisite, divine tree,
The
Monkey Puzzle tree
Many a
monkey have tried to climb its entangling branches,
But many
have failed and left with prickers in their toes
At least
the birds were smart enough to know not to mess with this
Amazing,
wonderful, tantalizing, enchanting, exquisite, divine tree they call,
The
Monkey Puzzle tree
