Though we dug them out and sprayed 'em
And we mowed 'em into shreds
We were powerless to dissuade 'em
From filling up our beds
They doubled and quadrupled
And it was the cruellest thing
Oh, when it comes to weeds, I swear
The dandelion is king
Yes, we dumped on glycophosphate
But they came back anyway
So we poured the vinegar on straight
(The grass died right away)
We weren't stingy with the 2, 4-D
It hardly did a thing
For when it comes to weeds, indeed
The dandelion is king

Delightful!! I love dandelions because they usually are the first flowers a child presents to his/her mother .

I dearly love your poem, and it is very timely as I am fighting a never-ending battle trying to get rid of the dandelions in my yard! I haven't gotten the courage yet to eat them, tho. Maybe someday! God bless you!

Thanks, I loved this little poem. When I first started reading down I thought 'Oh, I wonder if I should write a little poem saying you can also EAT them', but reading down further I saw that was already covered!
