Yippee

Anyone of you dumbasses know who Yip Harburg is? Anyone....anyone?
He was a lyricist who wrote all the words for all the songs in the Wizard of Oz. He also wrote many poems (and also happened to be an Atheist). Here is one that I liked-

Poems are made by fools like me,
But only God can make a tree;

And only God who makes the tree
Also makes the fools like me.

But only fools like me, you see,
Can make a God, who makes a tree.
