Ode to the Cottonwood Tree....or snow in July!

Cottonwood oh Cottonwood...lend me your ear...
Please go from here...
 And take your white fluffs with you...
My grass is covered...again today!
You have over stayed your welcome...
Two weeks I say...
It is time for you to go!

Everything is covered...all my soil...

All my plants....

Look at this grass...green just this morning....now white as snow!
 
We splurged on a lush hanging basket that is
...Now a mere scraggly mess!
Oh how I wish I owned thee
 So I can get to the heart of the matter
 And cut you back to your roots and...
 Send your seedlings back to the river banks....
 So you can fill the banks with shade for others
.... Who can appreciate your majestic command ...
Over the soil that truly needs you!
