It’s Just A Dandelion

The dandelion to a gardener, no word could be worse                                                     From a man's lips it's often combined with a curse                                                                Your neighbor smirks as he looks over your fence                                                           Lotta good it did what with all the money you spent

They pop up by the thousands in the middle of the night                                                        Right after you mowed all day, it just doesn't seem right                                           Growing along busy highways standing fearless and tall                                             Breaking through cement sidewalks, tar roads and brick walls

And yet if you should pick one and study it for a awhile                                                Seeing more then just a dandelion will bring about a smile                                                  I'll tell you for certain what will take your breath away                                                         Is when your child hands you a big dandelion bouquet

My April Cat

It’s been a long cold winter,
Inside this house I sat.
I’m told that’s what cats do,
Sit around and get fat.

I want to go  out now and run,
But every day there is no sun,
I hear Missy say April showers,
Will bring butterflies and flowers.

I know the time will be here soon,
I remember chasing stuff  last June.
And next to follow is mid summer,
Using the litter box has been a bummer.

This is the second posting of this poem. My two cats went through this cold rainy stuff  last April, that's what April does I guess.
