200 - Poetree

Have we misspelt poetry?

Is it a type of oak?

I had this conversation once

With this odd sort of bloke

If there is "poetree" he said

Is there a poebush?

Or a poeflower?

Growing in a rush?

Does the poetree

House some poebirds?

Do they live in poenests?

And like to say long words?

Does the poetree

Reach up to the poesky?

And when the poerains come

Do they satisfy?

Are there poeleaves

That glisten in the sun?

Do the poebranches

Annoy anyone?

I said I didn't know

And made my way to leave

But now I think back on it

I'm starting to believe
