You Worthless Weed

     I think I’ll stomp on you 
       Crush you, you worthless weed
     Fools include you in a bouquet
       Recipients look the other way

       Oh, drat, my trouser cuff is yellow
     The launderess will bellow
       Greasy stains take time to fade
         ~ Reputations rarely remade

A clever poem - of course recipients would look the other way and hey Gershon reputations are rarely remade, if they even had one in the first place. Blessings Jennifet.

A worthless weed, indeed! Even a treasure cuff shows telltale signs of one’s comings and goings.

Entertaining poem, Gershon. I liked the lines: Fools include you in a bouquet Recipients look the other way
