So I found a little, uh,

Dandelion on the ground

It looked real nice, so I

I plucked it


I took it with me

Just to look at, of course

But, you know,

I killed the flower

To appreciate its beauty.


So anyways

I fried the thing

Turns out, dandelions

Taste pretty good


So now, I just

I killed the flower

To appreciate its beauty

And eat it.

I'm sorry, dandelion.

I am a senior at Decatur High school. I wrote this piece when learning about dandelions being edible, which helped me feel less bad about picking up dandelions and looking at them. I've yet to cook & eat one, though...
