“Dandelions” written and sung by Steve O’Donoghue
And when he saw them marching up Whitehall
I remember what old Arthur said
He said the donkeys are all wearing poppies
So I shall wear dandelions instead

Thanks, Tom.
When I saw this the other day, I couldn’t resist posting it for “Military Recruitment Day” as an antiwar statement. Dandelions are the best!
