Wobbly Knees and Knobby Trees (The Treeherd's Song)

Sometimes you'll spy the ent

in the forest just before dark,

with his mossy beard and gnarled face,

herding hickories with grey, shaggy bark.

And you're certain to faint when you see it.

But if you don't, I'm sure you'll agree

that an ent is terribly frightening,

especially when he barks at a tree!

And your knees will go all wobbly 

and your heart is sure to pound

as the trees move past you silently,

trailing ribbons with roots on the ground.
