Daisy Chains

Wild daisy plants with their small pretty flowers
Can keep children busy and happy for hours,
Roaming the meadows and picking a pile,
And then sitting down on the grass for a while,
Making holes in the stems for the heads to go through,
And form a long chain by adding a few
More stems with their flowers, until they all weigh
Too much when picked up for them to all stay
Together as one, without falling apart;
When this point is reached, it is then time to start
Making a new chain, till no flowers remain,
And then it is time to start gathering again.
