ADDRESS TO THE DANDELIONS

According to today’s edition of the Edmonton Journal, Raymond Loo, a farmer in Hunter River, in central P.E.I., has a contract with a Japanese company to produce 1,400 kg of dried dandelion root, used as a diuretic
and coffee substitute in Japan. He can’t take the dandelions from our lawn because his have to be certified organic and pesticide free.

To my lawn I go to practice my motivational speaking. "Dandelions unite! Leave this wicked place of persecution and harassment. Move to a land where your children and grandchildren will be free to grow! Cling not to your troubled past. Flee from your abusers! Don’t look back! Leave not a trace. Peace and freedom await you. Go now! Go swiftly! Good-bye!"

And the dandelions ask, "Who are you kidding?"

It's not easy to fool dandelions.
