A May Day

Working on hundredth poem
Without a lot for me to say
Perhaps what is known
Of the weather this sunny day

A day in May with sunshine
Dandelions in with the grass
Darn things are a nuisance
The yellows' in such a mass

Will dig them all up you realize
Find the lawnmower and gas
Cut the lawn and fertilize
Give the lawn a little class

Love May as it gives us flowers
Its the dandelions that I hate
It'll take me hours and hours
And as flowers ..... second rate

But wait a moment gratuitous son
Don't throw hordes of them away
We can make wine by the ton
So as not to waste our prescious day!

Those Dandelions are as well known as Elvis I think - only difference, Elvis is no more, and there's dandelions galore!! I hear that the greens from dandelions are quite nutritious as well!! Only beware those that show signs of parked animals!!
Congratulations on a wonderful 100th poem!! To catch you, I only have 79 to go!! I don't know if I have that much imagine left?

Nice write for the month of May!! thumbs up
