I’m a proud lonely weed
In the middle of the median strip
A small crack for me to creep
Through the concrete decrepit
I am an unwanted plant in the wrong place
With insignificant blooms and ugly face
So the humans say but I think I’m pretty
And prolific too short-lived unfortunately
Some call me dandelion or pissenlit
Others insist on Taraxacum officinale
Because they work in the department of weedology
At the Oxford University where scientists study
My friends clover or Trifolium repens
Groundsel or Senecio vulgaris
And of course Oxalis and its cousins
