The Dandelion

It's not that the dandelion isn't pretty I mean the color yellow is very nice Brilliant they are, like the color of the sun For a flower you'd choose it twice. But it is a "weed" my friend, it is And obnoxious with a root That would simply go to China And further it would go to boot. It doesn't mind any kind of weather Oh no, it is not at all shy It grows where other things Would flounder or simply die. Some folks spray it from a can of poison Or dig with a shovel perhaps too Or use a forked tool and then Wish they would disappear like I do. BUT, did you ever have your child Or a grandchild do it too Bring you one with a smile on their face Just for someone they love - that's you!
