All I saw was trees

 

I longed to see a forest

So I crossed the seven seas

But when I finally got there

All I saw was trees

 

So I headed for the mountains

A range called Pyrenees

But when I got much nearer

All I saw was trees

 

And then somebody told me

The Amazon would please

And guess what bloody happened ?

Thank you Big Sal.....you made me realise the last line was entirely superfluous, so I deleted it.


MC You are a mine of information.
It's a long time since I lived in Australia, but I seem to remember them also using that expression?

Ho-ho...more welcome fun.
The tree makes a wondrous connection
That makes the mind feel good;
And in America, men with an erection
Called it "getting wood"!
