Madam, – Regarding the question in the verse quoted by Sheila Griffin (May 10th) “Dandelion, yellow as gold, What do you do all day?”, the answer is, undoubtedly, propagate!
Seeing this year’s bumper crop of the weed, Patrick Kavanagh’s apt “Dandelions growing on headlands, showing/Their unloved hearts to everyone” comes to mind. – Yours, etc,
