Bob,
Yes, you are right it might be easier with consitent ordering. I guess I'm a

As for the ads, I thought they were supposed to target particular groups. I
don't see them trying to influence poetic types to buy their products. Such
an important group.....

But now that I think about it, the line could read:
"dandelion and tractor"....
