Counterfeit
Dandelions sure do look like flowers
But they're weeds that wilt in just a few hours
To my untrained eye, it looked like a real dollar bill
But a distorted George screamed "Counterfeit" and still
This bouquet didn't cost you a solitary dime
I waited to taste it until it had cooled
So this off-colored water almost had me fooled
Even the china when held to the light
Solidified my fear that something was not right
But you'd already decided I just wasn't your cup of tea
This poem is about:
