The Weeping Willow

Poem about why the weeping willow is called the weeping willow

The Weeping Willow
The Weeping Willow gently weeps
Into the earth her tears softly seep
The lumberjack comes In the 'morrow
That's what causes such unhappiness and sorrow
The Weeping Willow kept crying and crying
And soon enough she cryed herself to sleep.
In the 'morn
The lumberjack bounded up the hill
And the Weeping Willow began to mourn.
He got to the great old willow
And said, "Great Mercy Me;
What a nice,thick tree!"
He gave good hack
Defense is what the willow lacks.
What's done is done
And it is what it is
And he left a stump forever more.
