I don't see what's wrong,
With the small, humble lem-on,
I like its bitter taste,
Its happy yellow face,
Cheers up the fruit bowl,
Even though I wouldn't eat it whole,
Why criticise this little fruit?
When life is giving you the boot -
I like lemons, I admit,
Perhaps even love, this is it,
The versatile, miraculous little bud,
We can make a lemonade flood,
Lemon coke, Lemon cake, lemon tart,
Heck, invisible ink -
Lemons can even be used in art!
They have my vote;
Lemons float my boat,
So when life gives me lemons, hurray!
Another happy lemon eating day!

@Irrational_Kimmi you've created a group of sick monsters joined together by the mutual love of the oval shaped fruit.
@naaviie @MelchiorJ13 @Irrational_Kimmi @sarahgamal "At this time, I now have permitted to share issue #592: Lemons. That is all for the morning Opuss mews." ;)

@naaviie yes they have! I usually read the comments before I write anything but because there were so many I didn't bother, until now!!! π³πΉπΉπΉπΉπΉ
@crowncottage πππππ I do apologise about that!! Ooo naughty @MelchiorJ13 don't tempt me!
@naaviie please don't apologise, you are doing your best to control the children but I don't think there's too much hope! Best leave them to it πΉπΉπΉπΉπΉ

@MelchiorJ13 lemons and melons go hand in hand hahaha π @naaviie sorry for hijacking your Opuss and making it filthy! I just can't help myself, I'm the master of the innuendo. My friends used to call me Todd, after Todd on Scrubs and his constant dirtiness π
@IrrationalKimmi I've lost my juicer.... ππππππ yes, @naaviie, blame it all on @IrrationalKimmi O_o πππ
@Irrational_Kimmi @naaviie This dirt game is too much fun, I don't want it to end as one, I need to say, I'd be dismayed, If lemons wound up in my bum. π± (just sayin', we need to keep it friendly)
@leelee101 πππππ @Irrational_Kimmi @naaviie no one's seen ME go wild yet.... That's when the knives, tissues, rubber bands and.... sauce comes out π let's hope I never show that side on Opuss, I'd probably get a restraining order....
@MelchiorJ13 π³π³π³ jack I think you just crossed a line! Knives and rubber bands have no place in the kitchen! ππ
@MelchiorJ13 @naaviie @leelee101 Rubber bands you say Jack...intriguing! I'm more a tying up, spanking, biting kind of girl but I'll try anything once πππ₯
@naaviie On the Internet there is a cute pic of a lemon and it says 'lemons are pretty good' and that is our house motto at school! Cos our house is yellow!!
Gosh! So many comments on this! I must admit I eat the lemons that I get in my drink whenever we go out! π
@lonelynutmeg98 - I know! Bunch of crazies!! π I'm glad you are a lemon fan too! I'm always disappointed if I don't get one in my coke!
@naaviie if it's a hot day, or you fancy a little brain freeze, squeeze some lemon juice into an ice cube moulder thingy and pop it in the freezer. After around 2-3 hours they should be frozen, then just eat one, or put then in drinks as an alternative to ice cubes and lemon. 2 in 1!
