Fuzzy hotdogs set to roast
Grow alongside mountain’s ditch
Cattail flowers skewered on
Sturdy tall straight narrow sticks
They sway in wind and pouring rain
Turn fluffy when the summer’s done
Ripened seed heads set to fly
Autumn currents bidding come
Spiky leaves persist their spread
Ever homey in their grace
Marking marshy wetted lands
As cattails beckon stay and play
Children enthralled driving by
Sure that hotdogs there do stand
Will wonder til that very day
They hold cattails in their hands

Thank you, Rick! I remember the first time seeing hotdogs growing on the side of the road. Dad just laughed, and I learned they were really cattails.💞🥰
