"We were at the arboretum
everybody had...matching guidebooks
somebody went under the trees
and there they saw a rock
it wasn't a rock
it was a ROCK LICHEN!"(*)

Working on lichens too long warps the mind.

(I'm trying to compile a list of bark-dwelling lichens that live in this area, so whenever I see one that's here, but grows on rock instead, I was saying to myself, 'rock lichen.' Then I thought of the song.)


(And because I can: one of the best cartoon song parodies ever:)
