Who hasn't heard about "Tree-man" of Indonesia? He's the fellow from somewhere who has fungal growths that look similar to tree roots, or maybe, the worse possible alien form of toenail fungus on the planet Arcturas!
Well now, even in our fair village, we have our own local Treeman too.

TREEMAN


You may have heard about "Tree-man"
Of Indonesian lore,
His fungal growths so crazy
He can't get out the door,
A scientist from Britain
Has taken pity on the man,
And promised that poor fellow
He'll do whatever he can.

The other night at work
Imagine my surprise,
I saw something in the hallway
I could hardly believe my eyes,
A tree-man kind of fellow
Being admitted to our floor,
His skin was like the bark of Oak
But baby, there was more;
His legs like massive stumps, they were
His hands like wooden platters,
His arms were gnarled, knotted limbs
What else? It hardly matters.

And like the famous weeping willow
He had weeping wounds, galore,
Now he’s the odds-on favorite
To never leave our floor.
