‘Lemons in a Bowl’ by Helena Sofia (c.1934-1944)
Some lemons have ridges
and some don’t.
They are often as yellow as wattle
when they are ripe.
Limes are very similar
and lemons are usually very sour,
as sour as limes.
Nearly every lemon
comes from a tree.
But some come from
when the earth started.
