The murder rate is on the rise. The victims are innocent and have done nothing to provoke such attacks. They simply stood there and were decapitated! Someone with a chainsaw just chopped their heads of without thought. Why, you ask? We cant say for sure. Maybe it's a copycat running rampant or a chainsaw massacre remake. Whatever the reason, it must be stopped. How, you ask. That is the hard part. Once someone has a taste for murder, they just can't stop.
The victims are nameless. No one seems to want to stop this nonsense. Some even say, "That's what my father did and his father." Some see it being done and think they have to do it too. There is no good reason, just that it must be done. What happens after this rampage and will it ever stop?
These poor innocent creatures are the beloved tree of the south, the Crape Myrtle. It is a wonderful tree that provides shade and brings color to our hot and humid summers. It never asked to be murdered but yet it is done on a regular basis. This practice causes the poor trees to loose their shape, develop unattractive knots and weakens their branches. It does not promote blooms or control the size. Instead, it makes a very unattractive and weak tree.
Please spread the word and help stop the madness. Let the Crape Myrtle stand tall and proud! Stop the practice of planting a 20' tall tree where only a 10' tree can live. Together we can stop the rampage.
A great and funny blog entry. I found it very apt as when looking for Landscape ideas for Front Yard I found that the biggest mistake being made was to not allow enough room for your plants to grow into.
ReplyDeleteCreative and funny way of showing protest over the senseless cutting down of beautiful trees. I hope the mystery has been solved and the crime stopped.
ReplyDeleteInteresting post. I like your idea.
