An Englishman just on a whim
Said the trees were too many for him
If he lopped off that branch
It would give them a chance
To keep everything tidy and trim.
A Builder named Ed
Heard the statement with dread
“I can’t go on a tramp
I get too much cramp
We’ll have to go biking instead!”
An Englishman just on a whim
A poem by Margaret A. Holmes from the Holmes Frontier poetry collection: An Englishman just on a whim.
