Hark! Hark! The bogs go dark!

How does one go about selecting a tree

         up which to bark? 

What is the optimal bark

         up which to tree? 

Which sort of tree bark is best

         for making baroque boats

         which bend but do not break? 

Not wind, not water,

         the tree notices its own bark and associated nests. 

Nine nerves nestle in the nose of never,

         as the baneful barking of dismal dogs bangs on. 

By nine one means none,

         for the bogs dark and nicely the dogs may bark,

         mainly mindful of man. 

Select the middle tree,

         the soul of the minute maiden mind,

         the seal of the modern model dome.  

Who can scale the bark of such trees? 

         They will be nine, and how.
