The earth tree stands
Tall and proud
Holding up the world
But down below
The goblins dwell
Sinister plot in tow
Saw and hack
They cut the thick trunk
Hoping to watch
The old tree fall
And with it, the earth
And all that lay above
A fortnight given
Madness and mayhem
Running rampant
Chaos and ruckus in the streets
As goblins roam above
Until the Epiphany dawns
Down below they go
Once more
Finding the tree has healed
It’s massive trunk now whole
And so it begins anew
Sawing away, until Christmas Day
