“There once was a Tree who said "God
Must find it exceedingly odd
That the crucified she
Should continue to be
When she's hanging there all on her tod."
Reply:
"Dear Sir: Your astonishment's odd;
I am always about, never nod,
And that is why she
Will continue to be,
As observed by, yours faithfully, God.”
based on these verses by Ronald Arbuthnott Knox:
“There was a young man who said "God
Must find it exceedingly odd
That the sycamore tree
Should continue to be
When there's no one about in the quad."

"Dear Sir: Your astonishment's odd;
I am always about in the quad.
And that's why the tree
Will continue to be
Since observed by, Yours faithfully, God.”
