Sourpuss

¤

‘Top a lemon tree, twiddling the stem,

Of a ripening, juice-swollen gem,

Clementine decked her-

-Self in sticky nectar,

And christened it “Crème de la Clem”.

¤

Hitherto had the hamlet suspected Clem

Of lewd conduct with citrus in Bethlehem,

But their slurs, she averted,

And tartly asserted,

“When life gives you lemons, have sex with them.”
