The Man in the Tree

I was reading a book, and what do you know?

I saw a tree in the garden below,

And in the tree I saw an eye,

And then a face,

And then a guy.

I closed my book

For a closer look.

There was a face within the tree,

And mother me, he was talking to me!

“Ask me three questions

Before you go,

And perhaps I will tell you

What I know.”

Are you for real or just something I see?

The face in the tree said “Heidi-hee”.

Is there a heaven for when we die?

The face in the tree said “Heidi-hi”.

Can you just answer yes or no?

The face in the tree said “Heidi-ho”.

I’ve answered three questions,

Now please go.

But I’m still here, waiting for when

The tree will talk to me again.
