The perambulation of vegetation.
The nocturnal peregrination
Of items of green vegetation,
Is often denied,
But what is implied,
Must merit full investigation.
"That Dunsany Wood," said old Bill,
"Has migrated over the hill."
That claim's not rejected,
And it gen'rally accepted
That Shakespeare's not mentally ill.
And if dear old Willie don't rate,
Then boffins will certainly state,
(And will most all concur,)
That you can this infer
From molecules' randomised nat-ure.
Your honour, I'm sure now you came,
To see now how just is my claim.
I hit not that tree,
The thing ran at me,
I cannot be held up to blame.
It pounced as I rounded the curve,
I'd no chance, although I prayed ferv-
ently, and 'twas handy
That I had that brandy,
To afterwards steady my nerve.
