It was Rapunzel with olden strung hair,
Cascades of white tassels trimmed leaves and air.

Charmin hung softly with leaves sailed the breeze,
A thousand strings dipping, willowed in tease.

"Bah Humbug-what a mess the dew drops will bring!"

Yet, for one brief moment before wrongs or rights,
Her imagination was charmed by the artistic site.

(I imagine this was a "celebration" for graduation.  In any case, for a moment, the tree wore its tassels well.)
