Acacia have eyes for her, don’t start pining. She’s looking for a sugar maple, not some sap who’s just interested in pollen around, then leaving. ---

Don’t get the wrong idea, yew no-good nogals and mockernuts; she may be in a su_pine_ posture but she’s a sweetgum and not some sassyfras wildgoose. Her sunbathing _au naturel_ is not an invitation to go give her the ol’ buckeye, stare at her aspen or start with the paw-pawing. Besides, she’s still guarded by a nannyberry to protect her cherry and her daddy’s a church alder who’ll give you holly hell before yucca[n] try anything, so you’d might as well respect her privetcy, you hornbeams, sandjacks, staghorns, honeylocusts and blackthorns. On edit: finally putting my Audubon field guide to N. American trees to good use! ---

She may be a larch-conservative, but when she gets acorn for some hardwood, she’ll wrap her crotch around the first sturdy trunk that’s willing to shag bark. ---
