A Little Lemon Slice

A little lemon slice
To spritz upon the fish
There on a bed of rice
A tasty little dish
Presented to entice

A little lemon slice
Or oft it was a lime
Tequila splashed on ice
Hooray, it’s party time
I’m flush and feeling nice

A little lemon slice
A large glass of sweet tea
Some southern paradise
Refreshing as can be
Don’t have to ask me twice

A little lemon slice
Extracted from my neck
Is packaged up in ice
A melanoma check
I hope it will suffice

Ha, Leo’s roaring, took me a sec. Yeah, it was, but they feel good they got it.
