So what you are saying is that trees mooch off their leaves and then discard them? Typical... I always knew trees were assholes.

AAAA-HAAAAA!!! I no longer feel like an idiot for falling out of a tree this summer!!
Seee....i did not fall! It is obvious to me, and to the rest of you no doubt, that the tree was a wee bit confused, thought i was a leaf, and tossed me on my ass.

i feel so vindicated *wipes away tears*

No raking.

You were just defending the honor of the leaves.

so long as you use up every bit of that what you kill, and have a valid and signed leaf license and tag, I suppose it is ok.

So... it's more like having a kid, getting them through high school, mooching off of them and then throwing them away!

I'm not sure that's any better....

I think that I shall never see
A poem lovely as a tree.

A tree whose hungry mouth is prest
Against the sweet earth's flowing breast;

A tree that looks at God all day,
And lifts her leafy arms to pray;

A tree that may in summer wear
A nest of robins in her hair;

Upon whose bosom snow has lain;
Who intimately lives with rain.

Poems are made by fools like me,
But only God can make a tree.
Joyce Kilmer. 1886–1918


(makes me want to turn every big titted bitch into a milkmaid, when I read this poem)

Albert Camus, Brooklyn
