When all at once I saw a crowd,
A host, of golden daffodils

And when I went back another day
The Council guy had mown them all away

In loving memoriam
And we'd told the Council of our plans
Their POLICY took greater precedence
For mowing lawns was important
To health and safety of the lands.

And beauty matters not.
