George and the Cherry Tree

When George cut down the cherry tree
His honesty was awesome
Confessing that he was the one
Who chopped the cherry blossoms

A bigger question still remains
Why cut it down at all?
Were there good reasons Georgie had
To bring this tree’s downfall?

George, it seems, was ahead of his time
In a futures market squeeze
The stock outlook was gloomy so
He shorted cherry trees
