A tree is a tree

where e’re it may be.

Leaves, with or without

I have no doubt

that it remains the same

and with identical name.

And with this, if you agree not

I will put you on the spot

asking, “Are you insane?”

for suggesting something so inane.

For if not the same it be

why does it still look like the same tree?

It may be different, ’tis true

than the one that you knew

when you first planted the seed.

But that doesn’t mean it’ll turn into a steed.

Therefore we must reckon it true

that the one who is you

is the same, though different,

as when you were two.
