Brevity by Dan Thompson for February 25, 2016

Oak-y Doakie.

Another episode of Boarders. “No, Ma, that switch goes in the keep pile. It’s still good if I fix it.”

Who other than Juniper Cleaver wears pearls around the house? So that must be the Beav.

That’s his Aunt Maple!

It’s time for him to start hauling ash.

If he had a place place to bring his friends he’d be more poplar. He may-pull an all nighter to elm-liminate that clutter.

I wooden have expected it to be so hard to come up with a good tree pun, but I’m stumped. I guess I can’t see the forest for the trees so it’s time for me to leaf.

Give me two aspens , this gave me a head ache !

Ms. Beaver miss her son when he leaves home, and pine for the old days.

He already did, with scraps of spruce!

Leaf it to beaver.

If they’re going to toss that mess, shouldn’t they be woodchucks?

I was gonna do the pining away joke, dam it. What a sap.

If he doesn’t she will be pining about it all day.

What ? Me Worried ?No, it is chew four willow leaves to equal one aspirin.

Yew tell him, even if it won’t make you the most poplar mother at home!

But ma, I can’t aFIRd it.

and frankly mom, I don’t give a dam.

They need to relax with a holiday at the beech.
