Ol' Hick

A poem by Terry Bohannon
Written: December 15, 2001

But what of the Hickory tree,
Now that his limbs are bare?
His leaves fell without care.

How, now, will it be done?
Without those green palms that
Are large, broad, and flat.

How will he drink Sunlight
Now that he is bare?
How dare th'fallen not care!

Please, Lord, protect Ol' Hick,
He is without his clothes,
He may take chill, w'thout those.

For, the winter's bound to
Get frosty this cold year,
Please, Lord, open Your ears.
