Sense Sonnet - Pumper

 Have a Seat

A thousand years here I have stood,

A towering well rooted tree.

Lots of humans just think of wood,

Buildings and chairs, when they see me.

I'm now protected in a park.

These humans have to look elsewhere.

No axe or saw should cut my bark.

So I'm okay when I do share

My time and place with humans who

Come and sit on me for a time.

Just chilling out some humans do,

Some more rambunctious try to climb.

I hope humans find me of use

When being with me, a live spruce.
