Honeysuckle

Wallace Dean LaBenne

Poison ivy, red sumac
Angry grimace, glum sad-sack
Migraine headache, heart attack
These are pesky bothers

Dandelions, lawn crabgrass
Sudden touchback, bungled pass
Stupid comment, playful sass
These are common fodders

Honeysuckle, Queen Anne's lace
Sugar baby, angel face
Darling, sweetheart, perfect grace
These are lover pothers
