“When life gives you lemons make lemonade”
We’ve all heard that worn-out phrase before
But why stop at making lemonade
When we can have a whole lemon smorgasbord?
We all get a lot of lemons in our lives from time to time
So it’s good to know what to do with them for goodness sake
I’ve learned a long list of goodies I can make with mine
From lemon meringue pie, cookies, bars, and cake
I can swap my lemons
For coconuts, pineapples, and limes
We’ll add a little rum
And have a real fun time
I hope this poem is a good reminder
That there are no limits to what you can do
Or how much fun you can create
With all the lemons that life gives to you

Yes, we all get lemons every once in a while. I really like this. I’m a lemonade vodka kinda gal, myself. Cheers!
LOL! Cheers!

A good reminder on how to handle lemons…. just when life hands you a lemon or two.. don’t turn it into alcohol…
Good point. If one isn’t careful, alcohol can create even bigger problems. Thank you, Bulldog.

Definitely make a lemon smorgasbord! I would also add some strawberries to that lemonade. I love strawberry lemonade!
Sounds good to me! Thank you for the suggestion.
