Poplar Trees Are Happiest
Poplar tree 3 are laughing trees. With lilting silver call. Willow trees droop weepingly. And never laugh at all. Maple trees are gorgeous trees In crimson silks, and gold; Pine trees are hut sober trees, Aloof and very old. Black-oak trees walk sturdily, And live oaks eager run;. The sycamores stand, lazily Beneath the summer sun. But poplar trees are laughing trees Wherever they may grow— The poplar trees are happiest Of all the trees I know. —John Russell McCarthy, in University of California Chronicle.
