Upside-down Tree

Upside-down Tree

It's roots reached clouds,
confusing birds, that thought at first
to fly down instead of up.
Cats waited under leaves,
fat cats with feather beds.

The moon rolled its face over.
A boy wanted to climb, but
his head was in the dirt.
He kept pushing but couldn't get higher.

A dog sniffed a branch,
jumped over limbs and pissed on leaves.
A man with a chainsaw
cut it up, without much problem.
