My Darling Lime

Oh, my sweet wife, tell me is it a crime
That I so humbly adore the juicy green lime?
They’re seductively tart and truly sublime
A taste of heaven when in their prime
Yes, I’d leave you for them anytime
They’ve been my scrumptious soulmates throughout time
I know not the reason, I know not the rhyme
I’m but a prisoner of love to my dear darling lime!

I sense an undertone to your love of "lime", and I can relate, but if it's the actual fruit you're obsessed with, then the wife better learn how to make key lime pie sometime! Lol. Very funny R.G!...ab

I guess you're just a 'limey' at heart! ~ Sour Kraut
