if I had a lemon clock

Sugar was misnamed for she was perpetually unhappy.
If I had a pony, I could cheer up.
She got a pony and was more dour now.

If I had a fire truck, I would smile from sunup to sundown.
We went into debt buying her one.
She was happy for eighteen minutes tops.

If I had a lemon clock, I could die happy.
We got her one.
But it did not work.
