A lemon, I tell you.

My muse has given me a lemon. Yes I tell you. A lemon, so that's what you are going to get

It's a matter of perspective,

I need to tell my mind

to focus on important things

and not the first it finds.

For hours I've thought of lemons,

how come I hear you say?

Well early on this morning,

there was one that got away.

Atop my garden path it sat

alone and citrus bright,

I guess it must have bedded down

to sleep there for the night.

And so the questions one by one

since then have sought me out

to dig in deep and irritate

I swear I want to shout.

Who, why or what I do not care

for someone's lemon tea

or for the wedge upon their plate

their supper's company.

I can't surmise how it arrived,

but sure as hell I know

this lemon's scheduled for the bin,

that darn thing has to go.

Bright yellow like the sun, but a bit squashed. It must have fallen out of someone's shopping bag...lol
