Collab with @gwyn1234. I've left this up because of the comments already here, but please go visit his page to hear the demo.
There's not much more to say about this song, a simple call to action...
Plant a tree
That is the key
Just plant a tree
Plant a tree or two
You know you want to
Plant a tree or two
Plant a tree or three
By the deep blue sea
Plant a tree or three
Plant a tree or four
By the kitchen door
Plant a tree or four
Plant a tree or five
Keep the heart alive
Plant a tree or five
Plant a tree or six
A healthy mix
Plant a tree or six
Plant a tree or seven
It would be heaven
To plant a tree or seven
Plant a tree or eight
It's not too late
Plant a tree or eight
Plant a tree or nine
It would be fine
To plant a tree or nine
Plant a tree or ten
Then start again
And plant a tree or ten

I knew I wanted to...when I happened upon your simple but very clever and clear lyric Paul. I wanted to see how it would work out before contacting you and asking for your approval to put some music to them.
Hopefully you will be able to access this private link and let me know if you want me to post it publicly in the main forum giving full credit of course...
Thanks,
Gwyn

Counting songs are always inviting, though only singers and youngsters seem to go for them. I've planted or caused to planted lots and lots and lots ( and we live in a small urban forest) so I'd cheer this lyric on even if it wasn't good.. But it is.

I do know I want to! The simplicity of this belies how clever it is - it grows and grows (just like the trees), and that’s how it gets you! Cool structure idea, neat use of repetitions, sweet little song. I’m off to tend my little indoor forest!
