Following on from your "dandelions are dangerous" thread earlier the poor little dandelions are getting their own back on you for digging one up ........ I found this little poem :)

The Dandelion’s Lament

“Oh I wish I were a pretty flower”
The dandelion said.
“Then people would admire me
But they wish me gone instead!

Now if I could be a snowdrop
So pure and sparkling white
Or a bluebell with a nodding head
Well! that would be alright!

Or a sweet shy shrinking violet
She’s such a pretty thing,
Or a cowslip or a celandine
Then I’d be welcome in the Spring.

Perhaps a stately foxglove
So loved by all the bees,
Or fragrant honeysuckle
Then I’d be sure to please!

But there’s some who try to poison me
And – Ouch- pull off my head,
Or get the hoe and cut me down
And call me wee-the-bed ....

But during the Creation
The Good Lord, he decreed,
That while some would get the glory
I’d be a blooming weed!

So despite their sprays and potions
Of this, please have no fear –
I’ll still go forth and multiply
- and see you all next year!”
