I stumble, as I walk, and place my hand on a large White Pine

It has old and kind sap-filled lines

My fingers stick

So I smell and lick

The icing-like sap

Like a pine-flavored sticky bun

Or a glazed donut to begin your day

It’ll be just as sticky as the sap

So you smile and grab another as you

Go to the counter to pay
