Dandelion Root

I try to be nice.
I try to be mellow.
It's just not my speed.
It's just not my style.
I'm a little bit sharp,
A little bit acrid,
But they say dandelion bitters
Assist the cardiac cycle.
So if true healing calls
For a kick to the backside,
To bounce you out through the
Wall of your sorrow,
If it's a Beatrice you need,
And not a Pamela,
Call me Scarlett,
And we can give a damn, tomorrow.
