Tonight's Odd Question: Use "Tree" in a sentence!
Posted by: microchip
Date: June 30, 2009 08:10PM
I'm trying to think of some expressions/things you do involving trees, ala:

"Barking up the same old tree"


Anyone else got any ideas? I'm just trying to brainstorm here.

TiA!

If a tree falls in a forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?

"Barking up the same old tree"
The better known phrase is probably, "You're barking up the wrong tree."

Others,
"The acorn doesn't fall far from the tree."

"The best time to plant a tree is twenty years ago. The second best time is now."

"Only God can make a tree."

Just sayin'.




Your boos mean nothing to me, I've seen what you cheer for.

Insisting on your rights without acknowledging your responsibilities isn’t freedom, it’s adolescence.

We are a government of laws, not men.

Everybody matters or nobody matters.

When a good man is hurt,
all who would be called good
must suffer with him.

You and I have memories longer than the road that stretches out ahead.

There is no safety for honest men except
by believing all possible evil of evil men.

We don’t do focus groups. They just ensure that you don’t offend anyone, and produce bland inoffensive products. —Sir Jonathan Ive

An armed society is a polite society.
And hope is a lousy defense.

You make me pull, I'll put you down.

I *love* SIGs. It's Glocks I hate.

"Barking up the same old tree"

...is a variation on the original. It's a non-standard version, or a made-up version. I think you were referring to this expression:

"Barking up the wrong tree".

I don't know what it means, but for some reason I am compelled to call out "look at the hooters on that one!"

I think that I shall never see
A poem as lovely as a tree. . . . .
Poems are made by fools like me,
But only God can make a tree.
by
Ben Jonson

Is this considered highjacking the thread?

Trees

I think that I shall never see
A poem lovely as a tree.
A tree whose hungry mouth is prest
Against the earth's sweet flowing breast;
A tree that looks at God all day,
And lifts her leafy arms to pray;
A tree that may in Summer wear
A nest of robins in her hair;
Upon whose bosom snow has lain;
Who intimately lives with rain.
Poems are made by fools like me,
But only God can make a tree.

-- Joyce Kilmer

I think that I shall never see
A billboard lovely as a tree.
Perhaps, unless the billboards fall,
I'll never see a tree at all.

I've seen a white oak tree full of owls in the middle of the night.
Right in my front yard.
It is extremely 'odd'.
All those eyes are something you never forget.
