Robert Pettit Poet Rhyme

Dandelions

These weeds seem to multiply in a plethora.
They have long tap roots that must reach to China.
I try my best to pull them out with each attack.
Unfortunately, they always manage to grow back.
Those yellow blossoms pop up all over the lawn.
Oh how I would really like to see them gone.
The airborne seeds just permeate all over.
They are a bigger nuisance than crabgrass or clover.
Yes, those botanical pests are a pain in the ass.
They make their presence and crowd out the grass.
Does anybody have a surefire remedy?
If so, then tell me about it immediately!

Sharon Tideswell February 2, 2011 at 3:14 PM haha, love this, it really made me smile because I can identify with it so well. Although I have to admit to quite liking those seed heads. We used to pick them & blow the seeds to tell the time. Thanks for your comments on 'Christmas kisses'

James Tate February 2, 2011 at 6:06 AM you have given a poignant description of this voracious plant. Your rhyming is good, for the most part. I may post my satirical dandelion poem. watch for it.
