In the Flower of His Youth

IN THE FLOWER OF HIS YOUTH You are what you eat? Bill, a young guy, friend of mine - Teetotaler and keen gardener neat - Drank nothing but dandelion wine. Like Dr Moreau’s Island modus operandi , His grey hair became heir (or scion ) To the fluffball of a dandy : And Bill started to turn into a dandelion. . . . . . . . . at spreading time of seed ! Still, Bill said, it’s not too bad - Better than being herbally tea’d Or becoming part of a salad. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
