TEXT OF THE POEM:

There's birds and birds
In the yaffling tree
All the kinds of words
In the yaffling tree
There's crows and crows
In the yaffling tree
It kind of grows
The yaffling tree
It branches spread 
The yaffling tree
From the hands to the head 
Of the yaffling tree
Last year is dead
Says the yaffling tree 
Its in its bed
Says the yaffling tree
So think again
Says the yaffling tree
I said again
Says the yaffling tree
So count to ten
Says the yaffling tree
Amen Amen
Says the yaffling tree

SUMMARY OF THE POEM:

The poem states about yaffling tree which spreads all over world which is fictional. The yaffling tree kind a speaks as it is in fantasy world of Children. The yaffling tree says that last year is gone. The yaffling tree spread its branches and boughs all over the place. It roots implanted in the soil. But in the first line the poet says there is every kind of  bird in the branches. There is also a crow in the yaffling tree which is the only bird the author mentioned. And we should remind it is something beyond our imagination.
