Pine Cojones

My neighbor planted a pine tree many years ago and it has grown to become yard dominant. This is the first year I noticed “offspring.” The two cones are each about the size of a large grapefruit. Ok, maybe the biology is not precise, but it reminded me of a magnificent pair of pine cojones.

Pine Cojones

What a pair

The tree has hoisted

Way up there

 

Bragging rights

Here in the hood

Backs it up

With solid wood

 

Lonely bull

Without a mate

Pollen’s foreplay

Bees relate

 

A score and seven

It has thrived

Finally sticky

Cones arrived

 

Rules the roost

With resin balls

Manly barkhood

Until one falls

 

Season ender

Life goes on

Sprouts a sapling

On the lawn

 

Till next spring

When they renew

Pine cojones

Are nuts for you

My kind of humor, and why the Spanish pine. This one sticky round for a while in Confucius version.

It is wonderful how you can "grab" something seemingly simple with your imagination and go with it, Patrick. And we, your readers, reap the benefits. Thank you. Love and peace to you,

You have a wonderful imagination and just the right words to express it that imagination. I enjoyed seeing and reading about your cojones ..... actually I should have said, your neighbor's pine tree cojones. Wouldn't want anyone to misunderstand. :)

I'm thinking the pine tree isn't the only one with big nuts, it would seem that Eileen has a pretty big one too.

Joking aside (is it ever when Patrick's involved) this is a really well written, well thought out piece of work.

Thanks Dick

Haha!1 This is great, Patrick. I'll admit I've never seen cojones of that magnitude. Great takeoff on the monster pine cones.
