Gum Trees

Gum trees, gum trees,
Battle the breeze,
Losing soldier, one by one,
Hitting the ground, thump, thump, thong,
My magnificent bark, as white as snow,
And my green luscious lock, just for show,
Famous famous, yes I am,
Maybe more famous, than a Tim-tam,
Yet humans think they're special,
Chopping me down with chunk’s metal,
Falling, falling, not knowing where,
Oh come on humans like you care,
Through a mincing I go,
Soon on sale oh no,
By blister, by bruise, by bus, by boat,
You use my coat, just for a moat,
Can’t you people see straight,
You wouldn’t, you couldn’t, kill a mate,
You can, be strange,
But you can, make a change.
