Queen Anne Tells Me Off

The dandelion was bragging she was fine. The squirrel came along, and told her she was out of line. Both of these incidents happened in a yard, mine. I was trying to ignore them, trying to dine. Why don’t you go somewhere else to whine? I begged them as they were simply out of align. It was Queen Anne’s Lace turn to be the one to shine. And there she stood, straight as a pencil’s line. Don’t throw me in the fray, Queen Anne said on a dime. Just keep eating your fruit and drinking your lemon-lime. I am fine, out of this discussion, enjoying my own age prime. Keep me out of your shenanigans, you make trouble all the time.

A fun read! Made me chuckle. Of course Queen Anne gave me the eyes.
