Today's word is "dabster" ... DAB-ster ... Slang. an expert. (Dictionary.com)
Yellow
We had a small forsythia,
Planted a year ago,
Planted a year ago,
It survived the winter,
And the man who grass does mow.
We were hoping for some blossoms,
To decorate our spring,
All the neighbors had them,
What a frustrating thing.
For ours had not a flower,
Nor even a small bud,
We thought that our forsythia,
Surely was a dud.
What we needed was a dabster,
To sleuth our problem out,
To sleuth our problem out,
But instead, we checked with Google,
To puzzle this thing out.
Well, apparently this green thing,
Which sprang up from our soil,
Which sprang up from our soil,
Was a weed and not forsythia,
And to pull it we must toil.
And to pull it we must toil.
