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!
