Dandelion

tidy floral rows stark ragged dandelion shears’ hungry maw gapes shing! have a care; it will regrow unlike your delicate bloom surprised, you look down your prize tulip’s roots mingled with this intruder woven inextricably gleaming shears look quite hungry 6/14/16 © Thomas W. Quigley

HEY...HEY....LEAVE THOSE DANDELIONS ALONE YOU BULLY.....think---"look, my little Billy is the only one in the parade that's in step". I have made peace with the dandelions and the bees love me for it.
