 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
