Caren Krutsinger Poet Light Verse

The Lemon Hit My Nose At Full Force

The lemon hit my nose at full force,
the second the lid was off.
I ran into the kitchen, disbelieving
For I had already devoured two this month,
and my husband was not speaking to me
due to my nasty disposition.
I fell into his arms, 
leaning over him
with a butter knife,
slicing a tiny piece
of lemon pound cake,
gloating that he thought it was
all about him

Gershon Wolf January 16, 2019 at 9:44 PM You mean it wasn't?! Signed, A Duhmb Husband. (LOL). Cute one. ~ Gershon Caren Krutsinger January 17, 2019 at 9:42 PM I am a fooler, but my husband knows me well. He usually catches me eventually.

Maurice Rigoler January 15, 2019 at 8:42 PM Love this one, Caren, and lemon pound cake too! If you're not averse to a little loving compliments I'd say your writing is improving with every new posting! Can't say that for every Souper. Keep at it. Glad you enjoyed my limerick on greedy politicians. / M Caren Krutsinger January 16, 2019 at 2:18 AM Maurice, what a wonderful thing to say! I am thrilled as sometimes I think "why in the world did you post THAT?" after I already have.

Andrea Dietrich January 15, 2019 at 5:17 PM Yum, I like a little cake with my frosting though! Caren Krutsinger January 16, 2019 at 2:19 AM I do too; and lemon is a terrific motivator for me. I love it in all of its habitats - lemon pudding, lemon meringue pie, lemon squares, lemonade, lemon tea, lemon poundcake.
