Menacing clouds, dark and ominous

The fun travel day viewing scenery

Began to unravel bit by bit

The weather turning from sunny to cloudy

We began to despair

Our travels would end in crashing rain

As the rampant corn began to sway

But the wind weaved its spell

And blew the storm away

We continued happily on our way

Kitten

As I hear it purr

I reach out and pet it

Getting a nasty scratch

It didn’t know my intentions

It seemed to think

Living outside feral was okay

I just wanted to take it to the vet

Get its shots and take it home

Give it a happy family

To call its own

So I seize the chance

Grabbing it by the scruff of the neck

And I call the kitten my own

My constant companion

It follows me around

My pet, it purrs around my feet

It owns me now you see

But I don't care

For its wormed its way 

Into my heart

And into my bed

It has its own pillow

Beside my head

It's family to me

 It is enigmatic and maybe gruesome

And it irritates me so

How those yellow flowers

Come back no matter

How many you pull

They are a weed

A wildflower

An unwanted plant

That grows and grows

You can mow them down

You can yank them out

But still they flourish

Rank and row

Some say use the roots

For medicine

Or use the greens

For salad

I’ll take mine

With wine

They hide out in corners

Where I never go

Becoming taller

As they rapidly grow

Still they sprout 
Develop and breed

And the puffs

Change and blow

Spreading flowers

Where ever they go

We'll never be rid of them

So I guess it's live 

And let live

Until they grow too tall
Then I'll yank-em 
Root and all
