/// Walter named this tree The Talking Oak,
claiming that of Olivia it spoke.
Where her carved name defaced
its rough bark she embraced
it, and wondered how Walter’s mind broke.
/// Alfred Tennyson wrote a long verse
on this subject, (it should have been terse).
Walter hears the oak speaking
of the girl he’s been seeking.
I’d critique it, but I’ve written worse.
