New Jersey has a special tree,
A sturdy, mammoth oak,
Beneath whose shade George Washington
And Lafayette once spoke.
The tree was there before, from Spain,
Columbus started out.
The experts say 600 years
Might be its age (about).
Alas, the tree's demise is near.
It's dying and, though faved
By everyone who knows it,
It's too rotten to be saved.
For now, they're just removing limbs;
Next year it will be felled
But think of all the history
That mighty trunk beheld.
