1
My dad once bought a Figmoron Tree
2
He planted it and he grew it
3
I chopped it down with a cherry-handled axe
4
And I told my old man I didn't do it
5
After he died, I planted another
6
Where the earth and his bones were mingled
7
I cannot tell you how long I let that one stand
8
But if you look at the stump then the rings will

10
Sitting in the sun beneath the Figmoron Tree
11
Figmoron Trees give no shade
12
Sitting in the sun beneath the Figmoron Tree
13
Sipping on a hot lemonade

15
You better not wait for the wind to knock it down
16
So you can cut it up and cord it
17
Whichever way the wind is blowing from
18
The Figmoron Tree bends toward it
19
In October its leaves all turn pitch back
20
And they float away up through the clouds
21
Where they gather and stick like a thick swarm of bats
22
Until they fall in a heap to the ground

24
It was 19 hundred-ought-zero-oh-nine
25
Flanagan went on his shooting spree
26
The next day I went out with my pliers and knife
27
And pulled 91 slugs from the Figmoron Tree
28
I had just busted out of jail when I heard
29
The sound brakes make when they screech--
30
My dear, late wife wrapped my yellow truck
31
Around the trunk of the old Figmoron Tree
