Land of the Leaning Trees

It’s another typical day
in the land of the leaning trees,
They’re a special localized species
sculpted by our constant breeze.

They look like they’re reaching for help
to get away from the maddening wind,
Especially, the roaring tornadoes
that Mother Nature sometimes does send.

I think they’re just like me
with no escape to be had,
From the blowing wind, pollen
and dust that threatens to drive us mad.

Some friendly words of advice
for new arrivals to our land,
Anchor things securely
if tomorrow you want it to stand.
