Cocos come, Cocos go

The Cocos palm
that did no harm
but oversaw
today's Clone War
is now no more.

Yes, two years since 'the cattle-man' first threatened its demise, the lofty Cocos next door has been rubbed out, by a professional lopper.

Pity.

Though the suburban Cocos is as close to a cliche as a tree can be, I liked that particular one. So too did the rats and the feral pigeons.
