The worms crawl out
The worms play pinochle
On your snout.


I was in the arboretum back home with my mom on Monday and coming back to the car I notice something was missing, in that odd way that you know that something isn't right but have no clue what.

After searching for a bit, I noticed one of the pear trees was cut down. My pear tree. The one with a plaque saying it was planted just a few days after my birthday, the one that I used to hug every time I went to the arboretum. I stared at the stump for a few seconds, then sat down on it and cried.

I know it was diseased and probably needed taking down before it infected anything else, but still...it was my tree. It just doesn't seem fair that the tree should die before I did.

Oh. Well, what did they to my forest then? Firewood?

It was about a hundred years old and grew up over an old logging rail. You could still see rusted old ironworks sticking out in places.

Lumber, probably.
