Lo!
There arose in those dark days a champion from amongst the Arbourists against which no unruly shrub nor unkempt tree could stand. It is said that his saw sang stridently as it slaked its sap-lust slashing through misshapen foliage, and that the sound of his loppers was like a great engine breaking, a cacophony of staccato blasts chewing blithely through the stoutest of boughs. Amongst the evergreens he was named Ethanatl-ul-taunphl, which in their tongue means "He who hews with impunity." Amongst the hard-woods he is called Ntllnyâphn Hlthyphn, which means, "The Steel Jaw." Rumours of his shearing feats spread far and wide throughout the deciduous and coniferous world, and it is said that when the wind blows the trees can still feel his presence on the breeze; this is why they both moan in sympathy for the pruning of their brethren and quake with fear of their own inevitable coiffing as the gusts pass them by.

And scene.
I think you should always write in epic verse.
So I'm guessing you survived trimming the tree? ;)
James' comment made me laugh. Agreed.
I'm sure my profs would love receiving papers on ego functioning and family dynamics in epic verse . . .
And yeah, no worries about the tree trimming. I handled it.
