But then you'd live in California and that sucks.
I think a Dawn Redwood is far nicer, and has been around a lot longer.
I'd rather be an Acer Griseum, much more handsome, and the girls like
to touch and fondle. A sycamore is lovely too, if you have the space,
made for tree huggers, and the ladies are mesmorized by its balls.
