Love and Dandelions

Blow-ball and Cankerwort, words born from a common tongue.? Lions tooth, ? Priests Crown, ? Moles Salad and piss-a-bed.? ? English is most practical ? when it is rustic and colloquial. ‘Swine Snout’ snorts loud upon the page. The yarrow-yellow flowers last for hours then overnight turn to fairy bones. I recall us both sat upon the grass blowing unfettered puffs into the wind, our hair littered with stemmed parasols the pirouetting flotsam of the airborne.? ? The damply dunked sounds of sneeze-helicopter's,? the muddy splatter of piggy snozzles. Lions Teeth are its leaf, mix well with Burdock for a low tea under a shady tree. Beware of false dandelions such as ? cats ears and coltsfoot.? The Chinese, Pu Gong Ying is the real thing. After we had covered each other with dandelion kisses we made hay the old fashioned way.
