Best Lemons Poems


Premium Member Limes, Lemons, Cherries
Have you ever squeezed a lemon before?
(you very might well have and just not realized it).
Each time you grab the steering wheel, you feel determined:
There's no way in hell you're waiting another minute!

A lemon is sure a close call,
and anyone's capable of it - every...

Lemons Get a Bum Rap
The poor lovely lemon,
     It’s really so unfair
An arbitrary choice?
    Then why not choose a pear?

Why pick on little lemons
     A bit sour to the taste?
An unfair connotation
     Common sense...

Pineapples and Lemons
I'm Sweet
You're Sour
I'm In Cans 
You're In Bags
We're Perfect
The Perfect Match
You're Presence Blinds Me
Yellow Coating
You Burn My Eyes
But That's Okay
You Make Good Lemonade
Your Sour Taste
My Sweet Flavor
The Perfect Combination
It's Out Of This World
You're The Best Squeeze Yet

Oh Pineapple 
Words From The Heart
You M ake The...

Alone With Lemons and Limes
He told me I had lemon skin
my breath was tart upon my lips
I carried the weight of the world on my hips
My tongue I should learn to bridle

It's just like the sun in the afternoon
with the windows open to dispel the gloom
Lime green pain lights...

Premium Member When Life Gives You Lemons
They say when life gives you lemons that you should make lemonade. 
Would you like to know what it is yours truly would say? 
Take that lemonade and splash it right back in life's face 
who was supposed to give you oranges in the first...

Picking Lemons
I’ve sorted spuds at Cora Lynn, picked asparagus at Vervale, 
Cherries in the Dandenong’s, beans on the Thompson close to Sale,
I’ve picked apples out at Labertouche and made a tidy quid,
But I’ve never picked an orange, and it’s time I bloody did.

I spoke to Billy...

when life give you lemons you make lemonade
when life gives you a job its time to get paid
when life gives you women you'll surely get laid
but obsess over all this you'll end up a slave

Life's Lemons
See its strange that you seem to forget
Its strange that you can't remember.

First day of Uni was amazing wasn't it?
Mum and Dad worked hard to make it happen.

My blood seems to disagree 
my blood seems to forget 
the paths they follow were paved by them
My...

When life gives you lemons... you
Must spit in the eyes of life
Why would it give you lemons
Without some sugar?...

When Life Gives You Lemons
A neighbor got a lovely gift
Of lemons, but too much
For her to use so, neighborly,
She chose to get in touch.

She emailed with an offer 
That her bounty she would share
Since even after using some,
She still had lots to spare.

I told her I would take a...

Mother Nature: My Life In a Lemon Grove
During this unsettling time 
I find much relief walking 
beside the lemon grove.
I take my time on the 
same route every day. 

How the lemons 
and my life has changed. 

The trees have already flowered 
and small green lemons appeared. 
Soon they grew larger and...
