The tea gossips begin. A line black marks my whereabouts
Acrostic poem- Toadstool
This is me, a maligned fruiting fungal fellow.
Ordinary? No siree! Not me, I’m no grotty grass.
A red cap and scales crown my slim white ring of partial veil.
Dying, for attention, I stand tall, and pretty proud.
Savage me worst, fairy ring, honey fungi, fungus root and stink horns.
Toad plus stool I’m named; ugliest frog-like creature plus tiniest stool.
On point am I. Fiddle. It ain’t fair. I’m not a warty broad, squat common fellow.
Or an inedible, poisonous, rickety bar stool chair.
Love and admire me spores, forget them mushy mushroom bores!

This is lovely, Marje. I love the look of red toadstools, they remind me of the brownies in Enid Blyton’s books.
Yes they are interesting looking. Thanks Robbie for your comment and for sharing on FB.
