Palm tree

I missed the coffee hour when people made props for VBS (Vacation Bible School).  The palm trees were a sight to behold, not to mention the brown paper vines which hung on all the curtain rods.  I mentioned wanting a palm tree for the corner of the family room which we cleaned out when we got new carpet.  I thought they*d all been tossed or taken.  But no... I found a palm tree smack dab in the center of my therapy office this morning.  Now we just need to figure out how it fit in the car....

I found a palm tree

In my office this morning.

Now it sits next to my window.

It is left over from

Vacation Bible School last week.

VBS had a tropical theme.

The tree looks almost real:

Crumpled brown paper trunk,

Green felt palm fronds.

Sunday I looked all over

For palm tree remains.

There must have been

Twelve of them.

It was to no avail.

Today I found a palm tree

In my office.

It is six feet tall.

It will go home with me

To live in the family room.

I  do wonder

What the cat will do.
