I'm a tree, just a tree
Please stop staring at me
There ain't nothing to see
here, quite obviously

Just a big lump of wood
Not a spy, you'll agree
And I'm thinking you should
just forget about me

I've got bark, I've got leaves
I've got branches galore
I bet no one conceives
me as anything more
than a tree! Just a plant!
Just a motionless stick!
Think I'll hear you? I can't,
I'm as deaf as a brick!

So return to your schemes
Because, quite honestly
In your wildest of dreams
you can't think me to be
anything... but a tree.
I'm a tree. Just a tree.
Um... so, this falls nicely into the category of posting things for the sake of having posted something simply because it's been a while since I've posted anything much, but still.

This thing popped into my head while I was playing World of Warcraft, during a quest where you dress up as a tree to spy on a traitorous gnome. A perfectly logical reason to write a cruddy poem, in other words.

Starting quest for the draenie... brutally long just because you have to run back and forth... back and forth... By the way, I knew what you were talking about by the end of the first verse =P
