Buttercups and daisies<\/span><\/address>\n
the little knotted rings<\/address>\n
children \u00a0made for mothers<\/span><\/address>\n
Ranuncular \u00a0he sings<\/address>\n
\u00a0beautifully the legend says<\/address>\n
this glossy yellow flower<\/address>\n
that grows in grassy meadows<\/address>\n
And captures solar power<\/address>\n
\u00a0this is chiefly to attract<\/span><\/address>\n
insects and to make<\/address>\n
their little floral \u00a0calyx<\/address>\n
warm \u00a0and gently bake<\/address>\n
the energy redirected<\/address>\n
to the reproduction they<\/address>\n
boost the ripening pollen<\/address>\n
and the seeds do best that way<\/address>\n
\u00a0<\/address>\n
an enemy of the farmer
\nthough animals \u00a0instinctively<\/address>\n
know that they\u00a0must not eat them\u00a0<\/span><\/address>\n
there \u00a0toxicity<\/address>\n
Causing massive blistering<\/address>\n
of the mouth and bloody diarrhea<\/address>\n
\u00a0Only when they are dried<\/address>\n
\u00a0Can be added to hay<\/address>\n
that much we know is clear<\/address>\n
\u00a0daisies on the other hand<\/span><\/address>\n
are edible and \u00a0they
\ncan be thrown in salad<\/span><\/address>\n
On a summers day<\/address>\n
the sun is their ruling planet<\/address>\n
they are masculine\u00a0<\/address>\n
Fire \u00a0it is their energy<\/address>\n
divination from within<\/address>\n
\u00a0<\/address>\n
in ancient \u00a0times \u00a0some beggars<\/address>\n
used the flowers to rub<\/address>\n
upon their skin to exact sores<\/address>\n
For \u00a0sympathy \u00a0that scrub<\/address>\n
caused weeping \u00a0pus filled abrasions<\/address>\n
and beggars found that they<\/address>\n
\u00a0could earn enough to fill their guts<\/address>\n
to the customers dismay<\/address>\n
\u00a0<\/address>\n
rubbing flowers \u00a0on the udders<\/address>\n
of cows apparently<\/address>\n
made the milk much sweeter<\/address>\n
an old wives tale it be<\/address>\n
farmers generally speaking
\nsay it was never true<\/address>\n
and the milk if golden coloured<\/address>\n
was from buttercups \u00a0not true<\/address>\n
\u00a0<\/address>\n
nany a cow was called \u00a0by one or other<\/address>\n
as you know<\/address>\n
Daisy and or Buttercup<\/address>\n
from the tale of long ago<\/address>\n
another thought was a coyote<\/address>\n
\u00a0tossed his eyes into the sky<\/span><\/address>\n
after an eagle attacked him<\/address>\n
Buttercups were the reason why<\/address>\n
they glistened in the sunlight<\/address>\n
beautiful to see<\/address>\n
thats apparently the story<\/address>\n
of the unfortunate coyote<\/address>\n
