The Conversation

Leaf 1: Hey ya’ Buddy.  Ya’ been here long?
Leaf 2:  No. I just dropped today.
Leaf 1:  Yeah.  I fell 2 days ago, and I still can’t get up.
Leaf 2: Hmmm.
Leaf 1:  So, are you a Maple?
Leaf 2:  Wha???  Do I LOOK Canadian to you?  For crying out loud, I’m an Oak.  Born and bread.  Generations of us not falling far from the tree.
Leaf 1:  Oh.  I see.  Uhhhh, you look like a Maple….not an Oak.
Leaf 2:  I’m an Oak.
Leaf 1: Not an Oak.
Leaf 2:  I’m an Oak.
Leaf 1: Not an Oak.
Leaves: Oak.  Not an Oak. Oak.  Not an Oak. Oak.  Not an Oak. Oak.  Not an Oak. Oak.  Not an Oak.
Leaf 1:  Alright, alright.  Enough already.  We’ll just say Okey Dokey, you’re an Oak.
Leaf 2: That’s right.
Leaf 1:  Hey, I bet if you liked Country Music, you’d listen to the Oakridge Boys.
Leaf 2:  Funny.
Leaf 1:  Well, if you were a talk show host on a very still day you’d be……
Oak-rah Wind-free….. Ha, ha….arggghhhhh.  Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha…..you get it?  Oak-rah?
Leaf 2:  Now it is time for you to shut up.
Leaf 1:  Hey, I bet your favorite vegetable is Okra. (Oh my gosh, I’m hurting myself over here….ha,ha,ha…)
…. I got another…. Oh my gosh… hey… when you run out of money, are you Br-OAK?  (AHHHhhhha, ha, ha, ha….)

Leaf 2:  And if I liked movies, my favorite would be “Gone With The Wind”  right now.

(——–Deafening Silence———-)

Leaf 1: ………Uhhhhhhhh….  Are you upset with me?  Because if so, I can go over here and hang out with the Chinese Elms.
Leaf 2: Sayōnara
Leaf 1:  That’s Japanese, not Chinese…. Oak-boy!  Oak-man!  Oak-A-Rooney…  Oakley…. Oak-ster… Ahhhaaaaaa, ha, ha…..

Leaf 2:  It’s going to be a long damn winter.
