You can
strip the bark
bare the trunk
fully Fell the tree;
scrub your hands
'til cows come home
but the pungence
of sap remains

I'm not sure what this specifically refers to, but it's applicable in many ways. I love short, plucky little peices like this :)

I'm intrigued by your choice of capitalization.
"fully Fell the tree;"
And I love how this line rolls off the tongue.
Compact yet powerful!

In all honesty, so was I! I was double checking fell vs fall because it had been so long since I used it, and I noticed two or three links had it capped in a sentence. As you, I was intrigued so briefly researched and could find no reason! LOL!
