A scattering of nonsence
by
Emma - Louise Braiden
The moon is ripe.
The chestnut said,
Those hills will bring the dawn.
Please rest your head.
That chestnut said,
For soon a day is born.
That star above,
This chestnut read,
Does twinkle like the rest.
The sky it loves.
Thine chestnut read,
T'will soon complete it's quest.
I disagree,
The oak replied.
You know not what you say.
You surely lied.
The oak then sighed,
And turned his head away.
A moon that's ripe,
This oak exclaimed,
Is but a load of tripe.
As is a star,
Thine oak did claim,
Not found beside a stripe.
