Melons and Lemons

such a great tasting fruit, a ripe melon not sugary, just wonderfully succulent a sure way to beat the dry summer heat; so unlike the melon, the humble lemon you cannot eat it though it smells sweet but mixed with water it quenches thirst; the melon you eat, the lemon you do not the latter you smell, the first you will not; all things under the sun have a purpose nothing is greater and no one is smaller each one with its own unique character; so pick out the sweet or take in the bitter some days it shines, on others it pours that is the way life goes, sweet and sour.
