Mushrooms & Toadstools

Oyster and button and beech and maitake
Fat portobello and smoky shitake
Flowering, fruiting, or growing in rings
Shrooms are a few of my favorite things

Scarlet red waxcaps and golden ear clusters
Bright boho patterns on hip tie dye dusters
Milk mushrooms, wood ears, and gilled Angel's wings
Shrooms are a few of my favorite things

Chanterelle, creminis, and edible trumpets
Buttered wild mushrooms, with garlic, on crumpets
Varied morels that appear in the spring
Shrooms are a few of my favorite things

There is no stool
Like a toadstool
When I'm feeling sad
I simply remember these marvelous shrooms
And then I don't feel so bad
