Dent de Lion (Lion’s Tooth)

Jagged teeth
Bitter herb
A taste that grabs
some have never heard


Cleansing
Coffee
Delicacy to eat
the nicest lion you'll ever meet


A rebel soldier
A prolific spread
an invader who robs and steals your bed


Might you think
His brightness winks
a yellow lacy toddy to drink


Warm and toasty
Root that's roasty
palatable mostly but in winter are ghostly


Buttercups in spring
What a marvelous thing
won't you drink with the Lion King?

I love the herb dandelion so I wanted to pay tribute. The root is amazing roasted and drank like coffee. It cleanses the body and the green leaves are tasty picked at the right time.
