Modern Mother Goose-On The Loose # 631 (Drought Out)

The tree stood for many a year-

It’s strength was bright and clear.

.

And, then one day its demise was brought about-

The land had changed due to the drought.

.

The leaves began to get brittle-

To shrink up, until they were little.

.

A drink of water would surely do-

But, Mother Nature did not follow through.

.

The bark began to crack-

Even the animials who lived within

began to take track.

.

Packing up their bags, to a brand new

place-

Time was funning out, this was one

nature race.

.

No more could it stand, there was no more

stall-

The tree with no more strength had to fall.

.

The tree stood for many a year-

It’s strength was bright and clear.
