Dandelions Proliferate

In a big wide area as far as I can see, you have large countless numbers of progeny. In undisturbed fields, your numbers are plenty. I even see some growing in pavement cracks in the city. Those bright yellow blossoms that appear first give way to white seedlings that are wind-dispersed. As a successful species, your generations live on. Will members of your clan please stay out of my lawn?

Ha ha ha ha ah.....and Gwendolen's lawn too...I bet the cure to cancer lies within those yellow blossoms...I say this bc we are always trying to destroy them and then they grow back with a vengeance...Is is God's way of saying, " Check 'em out!" Makes me wonder...Grandiose rhyme and a superb topic for my summer day. :) Gwendolen
