Dangerous is the gumtree forest
When the relentless and ruthless
End of Summer heatwave hits
The exhausted trees shed branches
Left, right and centre
Beware the car passing by
Or the innocent walker
An ominous cracking sound
Is the only warning you'll get
You better run for your life
If you're to escape the widow maker
The forest floor shudders at each impact
Of a fallen limb from the high canopy
Funny how an evening walk
Takes on a gingerly dimension
With an enemy on the rampage!
