The Lemon that Flew to Yemen

Once upon a time

I caught a little lime

It turned into a lemon

Then grew wings and flew to Yemen

It realized it was hot

And it feared that it would rot

So it went to the beach

Where a man was making a speech

The speech was about the bad taste

Of the cafeteria tomato paste.

The lemon bathed in the beach water

Where it met a nice otter

But as the lemon stayed

The beach water turned into lemonade

The swimmers yelled and got upset

So much that the lemon could not forget

The lemon felt bad and left

Feeling guilty, as though he was convicted of theft.

So the lemon left to watch a movie

And thought the soundtrack was very groovy

So it began to dance

And went into a hypnotic trance

But someone stepped on it

Then it began to have a fit

It later died

And lemons mourned world-wide

This is the legend of the lemon,

The one that flew to Yemen.
