The New That Happened To Unfold-From The Old # 552

Christmas trees that are store bought-

Compared to the ones that took the family,

into the forest, to be personally sought.

Modern Mother Goose-On The Loose # 590 (Going Green)

Trees filled the forest-
All the way through, at best.
.
Then they began to build-
The fate, of the forest was sealed.
.
Home after home came-
And then the forest was never again
the same.
.
Three trees stood, in the aftermath-
Alongside, was a well thought out path.
.
All went well, until someone wanted to
cut the three trees down-
And, then all, of a sudden, much protest
was found.
.
For the three trees tended, to beautify,
the neighborhood-
Standing, tall, as they should.
.
Suddenly, to go green-
Appeared on the scene.
.
Trees filled the forest-
All the way through, at best.

Modern Mother Goose-On The Loose # 904 (The Road To Gridlock)

First, of course-

We rode through the forest, by horse.

.

And, then came the path-

Riding through over and over, you can do the math.

.

And, then the path became more wide-

So that horse riders and wagons could pass side by side.

.

And, then came the auto-

You know now where I’m about to go.

.

We had to have the paved road-

To carry a heavier load.

.

First a two lane and then we had to add more-

Gee, it was getting rough, just going to the store.

.

And, then as the population grew-

The freeway we had to acrue.

.

Even nowadays, it can get rough-

Cause the freeways just aren’t wide enough.

.

Progress is what they say-

As we ride bumper to bumper, on the week day.

.

First, of course-

We rode through the forest, by horse.

Modern Mother Goose-On The Loose # 639 (Fires Out of Control)

They had to start all over again-

Thanks to the big fire and wind.

.

It started in the forest and then it spread-

No one could have know what was up ahead.

.

The brave firefighters and the volunteers worked

so hard-

Trying to put out that fire, trying to stay on guard.

.

For weeks the fire raged, and did not stall-

Taking down complete homes and the trees

that were so tall.

.

Mother Nature had dealt a bad hand-

Striking much and many all throughout

the land.

.

And, then came the day when it was finally

put out-

With tired working souls, and many homeless

without a doubt.

.

They had to start all over again-

Thanks to the big fire and wind.

Modern Mother Goose-On The Loose # 762 (To Simply Walk And Talk)

The man and woman took a walk-

To see nature, simply to talk.

.

They went into the woods, filled with trees-

In the shade, there was a breeze.

.

They passed a squirrel, that had an

acorn in hand-

Quite a quick little fellow, colored brown

and tan.

.

They suddenly came upon a creek that

had run dry-

Guess that old stuff called drought, is the

reason why.

.

A big green turtle, stuck his head out-

And, when he spotted the visitors, his

head reversed in route.

.

All over the forest, there were many kinds

of vine-

On the forest floor, and up in trees, to

seek and find.

.

As the man and woman continued to talk-

They didn’t realize the distance, until they

headed back on their walk.

.

Miles and miles they had traveled at best-

Having a simple talk and enjoying the forest.

.

The man and woman took a walk-

To see nature, to simply talk.
