Notes About The Poem

My Little Lemon Tree

I check my little lemon tree every day with delight,
The new baby lemons are just growing out of sight.
The lemon tree lives on my patio and loves the sun,
And picking those giant lemons is such fun!

The last one picked was like a grapefruit, huge in size,
And the wonderful taste it did not compromise.
The luscious lemon went on facebook for my friends eyes,
Then it had a date with a pie, and met its demise.

Brenda -- such easy-going fun in your poem! It was so clever and cute to read about the trip one of your lemons took from Facebook to a pie! It was a nice read!
