He is the very model of a modern major criminal
Serpentine morality, bravery subliminal
His brain is like a vegetable, his heart some kind of mineral
And when he goes our sadness will be absolutely minimal

A week ago I took a photo of what I thought was a bay tree. But I wasn’t sure, so I asked a couple of friends. They agreed but suggested a closer examination would clarify. So today I got a close-up. Yup! Double-confirmed by smelling a leaf. #photography #landscape #nature
