The tree

As the blazing, hot ball,
Shined high in the sky,
A glint of mischief in his eye
As he leapt to the house to forage
A shadow with a shimmer of an axe
Lifted it up high, turned around
And threw his battleaxe down
He saw it all
As misery engulfed him
As depression won him
The sugar glider flew away
rejected.
