Some people never do learn, that was Ted
How many times had his parents said
Don’t mess with things you don’t understand
But Ted, who rated himself a bit of a nerd
Picked up the gadget the old woman dropped from her pocket
And messed with it like his parents’ warning he’d never heard
Next he knew he was rooted in mud
Cold water lapping
Transformed by that magical device
A willow tree, a despairing grimace on his messed about face.

Don’t fiddle with strange devices. Especially not those dropped by dubious old women. Curses upon you, laddie, I say curses…
But you have to admit, that tree does look mighty unhappy!

Fantabulous, Crispina! I see the face of a mother tree with wild hair about her face.
