Photoverio © (#48): This Is Not...

________________________________________________________________________________________________


© Oliverio
We honestly don't know 





This is not a butterfly


 and


That is not an orange

 The question is not
"What rhymes with orange"
  but... 

  Exactly what trees 
 did these come from?

Thanks to the commentary below, we now know the names of the mystery flora.

Holy coincidence!  Photoverio #49   is also GoFather of Math, page 49.

    2. Oxfoot town
      Oxfoot town
      Ev'rybody's got their heads bowed down.
      The sun don't shine above the ground.
      Ain't a-goin' down to Oxfoot Town.
      Everybody knows and
      everybody sees
      A town with a
      lot of ox foot
      trees

      The rest of the lyrics are at Bob Dylan's
      official website


      But I don't know how they
      sound en espanol
