Dandelions

It seems where’er they tend to grow Dandelions steal the show. Perky yellow smiling faces Turning up in lots of places. Don’t know why folks hate them so, Why they work to make them go! Not only do they brighten grass, They cheer up rooms when placed in glass. The dandelion has excuses Because it has some other uses. People make delicious wine, Better than grapes from off a vine. I even know that tasty teas Are made from dandelion leaves, So when you see their cheery grace Let dandelions have their space!

America's Funniest Videos feature many videos of children inhaling the seeds instead of blowing them on Milton's lawn . . . . .Enjoyed your well thought and scribed poem!

Amen! They are so bright and cheery especially in the spring when everything has been so drab. I let them grow in my hard as long as I can before I must cut the grass, and then, I leave a few patches. The neighbor complains, but he is a jerk. I love them!

Why do people think cultivated flowers lovely and their wild counterparts ugly? No accounting!
