I LOVE BUTTERCUPS
bright yellow sun shining
on lazy days Buttercups
blowing in the
warm summer breeze
little boys running
in childish glee giggling
pick one up chin up
to see if you love butter
glowing with boyhood
in awestruck wonder
of life, rolling and tumbling
in the soft white and
yellow peppered lawn
to the sound of
approaching thunder's
hoof beats as we lay
in the Buttercups
drifting on boyhood dreams
watching the clouds
roll quickly by
in all the shapes that
catch a young boys eye
elephants and freight trains
a cow that says moo
jellyfish and monkey brains
ewww,ewww,ewww
all we love to see and feel
most anything that we fancy......
except that itchy scratchy grass
was feeling kind of antsy,
and our fantasy's drifted
on the wings of the wind
….to the echoing sound
of a distant calling
….....boys come in....
....a storm is squalling...
and so like clouds
our wispy dreams
roll away as we
save them for another day
and head inside
to dream and play
leaving our sunny
Buttercups for Resse's
Peanut Buttercups
until the summer storm
goes on it merry way
