The Lemon

I wandered like a lemon,
Over hill and dale,
My skin was looking yellow,
My complexion rather pale.

I rolled on down a ridge,
Just trying to get a grip,
Taking in what nature offered, 
Alas, it was giving me the pip.

I started feeling seedy,
I'd been exercising for an hour,
No matter what I seemed to do
My mood remained quite sour.
