         The Major Oak
There is a tree
in England-
a huge old oak 
THE MAJOR OAK
a symbol
that sprawls significant
holding birds, book readers,
dreamers, tourists
and workers
to name just a few.
Long ago, it is said,
Robin Hood crept up
having taken 
from some 
obscenely wealthy CEOs
to give to the poor...
hiding in its branches
from corporate greed.
