Trees (poem)

"Trees" is a popular poem by Joyce Kilmer that has been set to music. It was used as a song twice on The Muppet Show. 
* In episode 113, it is sung by Wayne and Wanda, who are interrupted when a tree falls on Wayne. 
* Miss Piggy sings "Trees" for the UK Spot in episode 401, and is heckled by the tree.

* Sherry Netherland paraphrases the poem in Episode 3275 of Sesame Street. She changes the topic to fleas instead as a way to get a rowdy flea circus in control when they get loose in the Furry Arms Hotel, believing the sentimentality will get them back into their box (it doesn't).
