Last night the wind got up a bit<\/p>\n
and the Oaks were forced to throw<\/p>\n
their acorns every which way<\/p>\n
a mast year we might know<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
trained to fly an really try<\/p>\n
to fall where they might grow<\/p>\n
into a mighty wooden beast<\/p>\n
in a century, the flow<\/p>\n
of acorns onto roof tiles<\/p>\n
Great music likened to<\/p>\n
a kettle drum, an orchestra<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
cups and all its true<\/p>\n
Badgers, Mice and Squirrels<\/p>\n
like these tannic gifts<\/p>\n
poisonous to Cattle \u00a0and Horses<\/p>\n
and Dogs a swift<\/p>\n
negative<\/p>\n
apparently<\/p>\n
to us, but we can but try<\/p>\n
and leach out all the tannins<\/p>\n
with water by and by<\/p>\n
dry and grind \u00a0up into flour<\/p>\n
or thicken a soup perhaps<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
