City planners want to cut my useless friend of twisted knots and low lying limbs.
The wood is of no value for building as edges never straighten nor receive a nail which is not bent...yet old men play dominoes under shade of noon and young moms idle a pleasant hour with giggling tunes.
Youngsters learn climbing skills and leafy, fruity thrills while hanging upside down at will...birds nibble and peck as squirrels chase each other, gathering nuts and wreck the stillness of the morn.
Call her useless, I do not as she guards the village square and shades her chargers and provides repair.
