Jenny wanted a treehouse, so her mom built her one
She played day and night and had oh so much fun
So much so, in fact, she didn’t want to come down
Or return to her boring non-treehouse and town
Her mom called up to her, one late fall weekend
She wouldn’t force her daughter to stop playing pretend
“You can keep playing up there your whole life, but if you do
you’ll need a tree doctor, and a tree dentist too
“We’ll build a tree school and fill it with tree books
You can eat at tree restaurants that employ tree cooks
“When you’re older you’ll get a tree job and a tree car to drive
With tree banks and tree markets your tree town will thrive”
When Jenny agreed, her mom kept her word
And for years the sound of her hammer was heard
She built a tree office and tree parking space
And a tree fire station, just in case
Tree roads, tree fences, and tree parks were made
In suspended tree yards, they planted tree trees for shade
Jenny had a small son, and when he was grown
He asked for a tree treehouse of his own
