I like the gentility of the gestures. You know, as she’s about to cut off the little dandelion’s head

I used to hate dandelions, until LL taught me that I could make them into tea and they could cure cancer. Now I love them. I’m assuming that she is cutting off that dandelion head to make tea, right?

That, or she is taking her job as head stylist awfully seriously.

See, but what no one can hear is that the dandelion was begging for mercy. Like the goat tromping over the troll bridge claiming his meat would be too tough, this one kept saying that the violets three weeds over make much better tea.

How much do you want to bet that it grows back?

With about 4 million or so of its friends, Maureen.

Sponsor Poetry (& Happiness)

Every day at Tweetspeak we work hard to bring happiness and personal growth to our audience. Sure, it costs. We could talk about that in terms of what it takes to make a house downpayment, for instance (and not in South Dakota either, you betcha).

Or we could just say this: we do it happily. If you want to be part of that happiness in a small way, you could "Subscribe" for a year. Well, and that would make us happy too. Yep.

We aren't offering anything gimmicky in return. Just a chance to make us smile and keep us mortgage-free. And either way, Tweetspeak will be here for you every day.

We'd love to tweet or Facebook our thanks to you if you sponsor. (And that's no gimmick.) Just tell us not to if you prefer to stay secret.
