Trees were tall and beautiful

 Here's a humorous poem: Trees were tall, and green, and bright Until humans came with chainsaws in sight They cut and they cut, with gleeful cheer Leaving stumps, and birds without a peer The squirrels cried, "Oh no, our homes!" The birds tweeted, "Where's our dome?" The wind whispered, "I'm feeling bare" As nature's beauty began to impair The trees gave shade, and oxygen too But now we're paying the price, it's true For every tree that's cut down with glee We're left with pollution, a sight to see So let's plant some trees, and give nature a break Before we're stuck in a world that's at stake Let's hug a tree, and say sorry too For all the harm we've done, oh tree, we're true blue! Hope this brings a smile!
