There is unrest in the forest,
There is trouble with the trees,
For the maples want more sunlight
And the oaks ignore their pleas.
The trouble with the maples,
(And they're quite convinced the're right)
They say the oaks are just too lofty
And they grab up all the light.
But the oaks can't help their feelings
If they like the way they're made.
And they wonder why the maples
Can't be happy in their shade.
So the maples formed a union
And demanded equal rights.
"These oaks are just too greedy;
We will make them give us light."
Now there's no more oak oppression,
For they passed a noble law,
And the trees are all kept equal
By hatchet, axe, and saw.

One of the many reasons I do not want to travel to India anymore at this late sixties age. There is a fear of being knocked-out and fall on the concrete platform. I saw unruly crowd in every metro area and even small town railway stations in my last visit to northern India.

And don't worry, we still have all the letterpress equipment, we're just keeping it at our old location for the time being (it's a little difficult to bring a 4,000 press up this flight of stairs over here).
