Under The Tickle Tree Poem by Philo Yan

Once there was a funny tickle tree
with feather leafs and honeyed seeds
that elephants would love to eat
and when they've eaten all deplete
the little ones would fall asleep.

The shady funny tickle tree was cool
the funny leaves will fall and tickle too
The happy babies fall asleep to
roll in feather leafs twas such a treat
to laugh and hide and noisily seek
away from sun and prickly heat.

The funny tickle tree stands tall today
Under the funny tickle tree for babies to play
As age catch up with all one day
And death will come to all some day
The funny tickle tree remains....to stay

This funny tickle tree is far from here
Yet those who knows.....it's very near
exists in the land before our time
so, ask yourself and not your mind
Hope you'll find the answers to
Life's endless questions
thrown at me and you....
