lv...The King and Queen

In the middle of the forest, stands two great trees

Taller than the rest, and much greener the leaves

Looking down on the others, with grace and pride

Being the king and queen, they take in their stride

They are envied by the others, of that I'm sure

But sick in their heart, for which, there is no cure

As time moves on, their bark will crack

Since statistics have said, that is a proven fact

But wait, they have one fear, the sound in the forest

When the lumberjack, comes walking near

The lumberjack is admired, in his hazardous employ

He has the strength and the axe, to completely destroy

He searches through the forest, for that is his job

And the beauty of the trees, he soon will rob

He slowly treads along, and carefully looks around

Suddenly he stops, the king and queen he has found

It's the queen of the trees, he will chop away

Leaving only a stump, in the forest to stay

The king looks down, feeling ever so low

Taking the queen away, was a terrible blow

Since the king stands alone, he doesn't look the same

For without the queen, he has lost his fame

Now the bark is cracking, so horribly fast

The leaves are dying, he cannot last

The caretaker comes around, shocked by the sight

For the king is now, a terrible fright

The caretaker has decided, he shall be cut down

The king is now gone, only a stump can be found

We now have two stumps, standing close together

Shadowed by the trees, aged by the weather

They now gather beauty, as time passes on

Especially with the dew, at the break of dawn

The lumberjack returns, to cut the remainder of the trees

For in their midst, spreads a contagious disease

There now is no forest, just a field full of stumps

But the kink and queen are out of the dumps

Now under the sun, all is secure an serene

For they now have, their beautiful king and queen
