You start to pull up dandelions
and take care to get the root
to ask why you don\'t want yellow flowers
would simply be no boot

you start to spread some pellets around
you\'re trying to kill the moss
I myself find it soft and springy
and would see it as a loss

you start to pick off dead buds
I ask \"Isn\'t that what nature\'ll do?\"
You say nature would spread the seeds
Oh horror! Not one flower, but two!

I don\'t quite see the logic in this
I suppose you just didn\'t think
that we should control, including nature
is written in our minds, with ink

control? Ok, I could live with that
I would help you, strong and willing
but it seems to me it\'s gone to far
when for control you turn to killing.
