DANDELION -FASHIONS 171 



DANDELION FASHIONS 



HERE and there, every where, 



Where the sun is, where the shade is, 



Fresh and sweet, on tilting feet, 

 Stand the dandelion ladies, 



Gaudy-gay, in spring array, 

 Scores of dandelion ladies. 



Green ruffs deck each slender neck, 

 Every head has perched upon it, 



Saucy, jaunty, made to flaunt, 

 A little yellow satin bonnet. 



What a place for a pretty face, 

 In a yellow satin bonnet. 



This the style for a little while, 

 Then, despite the time or weather, 



All unite on a bonnet white, 

 White and snowy as a feather, 



Puffy, fleecy, moonshine breezy, 

 Thistle-fashioned crest of feather.
