There it sits nailed to its tree

So long after the event…so long

A statement of intent to make

And yet the message was lost to me

Sadly, lost within their ignorance

Here we have a living thing

It has lived longer than you or I

Vital for our survival…essential

Wounded, yet still very much alive this tree

And how one rusty nail speaks volumes

As it holds it’s now faded sign

VOTE FOR ME!

Loudly it proclaims

Or something along those lines

They care about the environment apparently

So they say without a trace of irony

Vote for me?

No thank you…
