Tree Bark

Tree bark
don't bark up
the wrong tree

isn't that what you are made of?
as I say ...
Tee hee hee hee!

'cause you don't make any sense
I thought you a little dense
'til I realized it was simple
like a warm September breeze

quit the tease
of your childish summer swing
it's autumn now
so let us bring

all the spiced apples
and cold, damp rain
better start gearing up for
all the cold, damp pain
and the shivering unto
rheumatism
and so let the bone broth steep

despite the schism
of the pattern
of the seam
of the gleam..

and if you wanna blow off steam ,,,
don't go barking up this tree
settle down and come to be
with the water, of the tea

of the bark that is
the tree.
