Why are the leaves so smooth?
Why not silky
Or bumpy
Or soft?
Why are they so smooth?

Why do the branches have leaves?
Not candy like Twix
Or Snickers
Why does it have to be leaves?

Why can’t you eat leaves?
Then everyone would love fall,
They would run around,
With open mouths
And gobble all the leaves up.
Why can’t you eat leaves?

Why is the tree trunk brown
Or white?
Why not more fun, like violet
Or blue?
Red would work too
Why is the tree trunk brown
Or white?
