Thank you both for reading and your thoughtful comments.
Although this is just a fun piece, I really admire Wordsworth's poem and felt I would like to copy his form and use as many of his rhyming words as possible. Wordsworth was a famous British poet and I think every British child has read "Daffodils" at school. Maybe the linkage between my parody and the original might not be so obvious in the US and other countries outside the British Isles. I agree I'd better give WW some credit
