DANDELIONS Hey-a-day-a-day, my dear! Dandelion time! Come, and let us make for them a pretty little rhyme! See the meadows twinkling now, beautiful and bright As the sky when through the blue shine the stars at night! Once upon a time, folks say, mighty kings of old Met upon a splendid field called \"The Cloth of Gold.\" But, we wonder, could it be there was ever seen Brighter gold than glitters now in our meadows green? Dandelions, dandelions, shining through the dew, Let the kings have Cloth of Gold, but let _us_ have _you_! OUR PUPPIES Little ears as soft as silk, Little teeth as white as milk, Little noses cool and pink, Little eyes that blink and blink, Little bodies round and fat, Little hearts that pit-a-pat, Surely prettier puppies never Were before nor can be ever!
