O little soldier with the golden helmet,
What are you guarding on my lawn?
You with your green gun
And your yellow beard,
Why do you stand so stiff?
There is only the grass to fight!

Dandelions...when I was ten [I think? nine or ten] I'd read something in a book about 'dandelion soup' and wanted to make some. Keep in mind how old I was.... I boiled some water, threw in some dandelion bit and pieces, and added salt. Tried to eat it. GROSS. :-P
