TO A DANDELION - THAT LITTLE GOLDEN DEVIL
What is a lawn without a dandelion!
It may look trim and proper, but that's all.
To tell the truth, it has no character.
Nothing to save it from the common place.
The eye is lost with so much greenery
Until, at last, its focus comes to rest
Upon the little jewel in the grass.
Those tiny heads of gold, amongst the green,
Should bring an instant joy to human heart.
This, you may say, is the positive view.
But even from the negative approach:
See how the owner of the lawn enjoys
His bout...to keep those little devils out!
It gives him ample opportunities
To brag and show, to all, how smart he is.
He digs and poisons the intrusionist,
And thinks that he has seen the last of him -
Until the morning sun reveals more gold.
Myself, I hold no grudge against the weed.
Especially, since I don't own a lawn.
