Dandelions

Dandelions used to be weeds

Oh they used to be quite ugly
Their greasy stems with yellow heads
Eventually turning into white wisps

Then blowing and tumbling in the wind
To plant themselves here and there
In every nook and corner and sidewalk crack

Now that we moved to the condo
No longer needing to cut the grass
No longer needing to pull the weeds

Dandelions spread yellow spring time joy
On parkways, over lawns, in fields
Beautiful sunflower yellow in abundance

Dandelions are pretty flowers
