When I was a poor college student I lived on dandelion greens and brown rice.

@Lupitamihita That sounds like a classic college experience.

I just got the notice of the video today--September 17th,and I can't see it,as it is "no longer available." What?

You must read Bradbury, Drew. He's another dystopia, (non-Utopia author.)

[Amiduffer]

YouTube is a really screwed up system, or else it hates poetry.

I've met folks who have said they have made dandelion wine. We certainly could have made some back at my parents home. The lawn was always plagued by dandelions.

I can remember my uncles talking about making dandelion wine back in the 1940s, and my son is a Ray Bradbury fan. All I know is Ray did some science fiction things, I think.

Thats what I get for trying to make a clever comment, and the comment-e wants to know more when I dont have the foggiest of what I am talking about. :)

I know nothing of Mr. Bradbury. What gave you an indication?

[ockteby]

Loved the poem, but as I watched I was wondering if this was a favorite of Ray Bradbury?
