You can pine for better circumstances…

They’re gonna Balsam over that snub.

Don’t pine to be one of the poplar girls!

The elder students will tell you what a bunch of…

I should knot say it… but what… beeches they are.

Elm telling yew, it may sound like an old chestnut,

but be true to your heartwood!

Being like those girls wood go against your grain!

They should treed him with some respect.

But, we’re supposed to branch out in school.

They’re poplar now, in a few years they will age our and you will be going strong.

They don’t look like the poplars in MY yard. But, they DO look like my arbs. Maybe, they just WANNA be poplar?

What is poplar?

I thought maybe the “athlete” in a varsity jacket, #24, had something to do with Christmas Eve?

Well, I ce-dar exists a status rating at that tree farm…

Poor little bush, nobody wants to sit with him.

They’re all a bunch of saps.
