THE DANDELION'S LAMENT . . .

The Dandelion’s Lament

Here I stand all alone see how I have grown
Though if I am seen gardeners usually moan

I am just a yellow dandelion that is my name
Gardeners like to dig me up it is all their aim

But yet am I not just a ray of lovely sunshine
With lovely bright colours - looking ever fine

But alas - just what is my forever eternal sin?
That I end up being dug up and put in the bin

Look at me here sat in the middle of the lawn
Our petals close at night but back every morn

We were consider OK back in the olden days
Used as medicines - food - even in magic ways

But alas our greed for water curse us forever
Now we are slain for just being ever so clever

If we offend you why not just stick us in a pot
Save you digging us up within the garden plot

Then I can shine just for you nature intended
Instead of left in the rubbish bin all lamented
