in epigrams and conundrums, forest 27 Words

The tree caught in a tree cannot be untreed except by rot.

A bent and twisted young maple tree, already beginning to gape open with rot.

This is a proverb from some far-away land where the Peter principle does not apply, and only the least competent are entrusted with the most important jobs.
