Lemons

When I think of my best friend

I think of Lemons.

When I first met them,

They were sour.
Maybe they weren't in season,

Maybe it was just, that at first taste

Their tartness made me want

To find another citrus

That didn't make my lips pucker

And my eyes water.

But after the initial sour wore off,

I could taste a little bit of

Sweetness that made it all worth it.

So, instead of putting the yellow fruit

Down and never eating it again,

I found other areas where they shined.

Because alone, Lemons aren't for everybody.

But when you add them to recipes

It adds more flavor

and enhances everything else.
