Tree Trade Master Poem by Imelda Ortega Suzara

Tree Trade Master

Mastering a global foreign language
Such as English to improve his country,
Bavaria, Meister Smitt tried to engage
Traders in business. 'Buy a Christmas tree!
Pine or fir are ever green when planted.
These come from a nursery in clay pots.
Let me explain why they appear stunted...'
He discussed pricing with: Brits, Celts and Scots.
'These are branded under 'Ever Smitten',
Meaning to last forever just like love.'
He sold the trees in multiples of ten,
Gaining popularity. 'Take a dove
With a Tannenbaum tree. Its purity
Will delight with a tree's fidelity! '

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
Note: a linguist realizes his mastery of language can influence people even foreigners to buy trees; 'Meister' means Master; 'Brit' = British, 'Celt' = Celtic people, 'Scots' = Scottish; 'smitten' means to be struck or captivated; 'Tannenbaum' means Christmas tree in German; the trees are stunted to remain the same height and in bloom in a pot for years; another telepathic collaboration
