Would Wood be Real
I inspected a tree
It was definitely wood.
I was given a challenge
To see if I could
Make something of the wood
That would not be real
But the wood is really wood
I can tell by the feel
So I cut down the tree
Yes it was really wood
I was determined
That I really could
Make something not real
Out of that real tree.
What it would be
Would be up to me.
I carved me a little piece
Of the tree with a blade
The real feel of the wood
Just never would fade.
But I wound up with a decoy
It was real wood without a crack
But the wood duck was not real
I could not make it quack.
