Go outside (yes, OUTSIDE) and find yourself a piece of nature, living or otherwise. Use unusual language and comparisons to make a memorable point.

Don’t lean on me

Don't lean on me

Said the tree

I'm week you see

said the tree

And why is that 

Said I

to his reply

For soon i will die

You see my branches they are thin

And i am growing weary from within

My leaves are flimsy, and they will break

There's only so much a tree like me can take

When he said this, i could relate

for I too was in a weak state

You are stronger than me

Said the tree

There's so much you could be

said the tree

Don't make the mistake that i have all my days

Don't be a slave to your kind ways

so I replied 

"how do i do that"

And he said 

"don't let others stab you in the back"
