Lemon Ode

Lemon Ode

Nothing but the lemon,

can inspire such loving dismay,

with a pained grimace.

Nothing but the lemon,

can dethrone frosty soft serve,

on the hottest of summer days.

Nothing but the lemon,

will people simply allow others,

to swish in their drink.

Nothing but the lemon,

can reveal the sweetness,

of secrets.

Nothing but the lemon,

will people accept,

unquestionably.

Nothing but the lemon,

can understand why.

We can only guess.

Nothing but the lemon,

knows how to support itself,

from any danger.

Nothing but the lemon,

has a hide that is loved,

and loathed.

Nothing but the lemon

can accept,

its true freedom.
