not all trees lend magic
if you break a branch from a golden tree
and it isnt your tree at all
it will not grow for you
however you remember the spell
and articulate it exactly
or as, In Mary Poppins
well the barley sugar fingers will not grow back
if you've snatched at them.
you think you can sift another's flour
but o alack
no cake will come from it
and when you go to serve it
the birds from faery realms
will come through the casements
and pick at it.
cherry and all.
