Goldenrod

 I thought that goldenrod made me sneeze

When it was nudged by a gentle breeze.

Now I’ve found that it just isn’t so,

And I’d like for all the world to know

It took the blame for the awful ragweed,

That spreads like wildfire by its tiny seed.

That sturdy stalk with its head of gold,

With arms outstretched as if to enfold

Each passerby who gaze in awe

At the waving fields of gold topped straw.
