    This is my pandemic songbook. These songs are the gift I received from the year of isolation and shut-down; with a couple of exceptions they were all written between March 2020 and April 2021. Most of these songs were recorded in our home; they sound like me and Charlie singing at our kitchen table.

about

I wrote this after reading an article about bioflavonoids and how bitter foods are better for us.

lyrics

Eat The Dandelion

let us consider the lettuce
it's not as healthy as they said
like certain anxious dogs
it’s a little overbred
they made it as sweet as they can
that's what sells at the produce stand
it turns out something bitter
is better for you


The rabbits and the woodchucks have known this all along
they’re not getting into your garden
they’re out there in your lawn
when the world feels like a deadly place
eat something we can’t erase
you want to survive
eat the dandelion


If you want to make it up the hill
eat something we cannot kill
they want to give you one more pill
get down in the dirt maybe you will
find a trait you can admire
a living thing that won’t expire
Times are dire
eat the dandelion


the world will come to get you in oh so many ways
complicated chemicals rounding out your day
kraft cheetos stuff like that
gonna make us stupid and make us fat
I'll tell you where your health is at
go out and eat your yard

it's bitter it's true
turns out bitter is better for you

If you want to make it up the hill
eat something we cannot kill
they want to give you one more pill
get down in the dirt maybe you will
find a trait you can admire
a living thing that won’t expire
Times are dire
eat the dandelion
