The Lemon Tree

Sliced or squeezed in water, tea
Many uses from this tree
Hot or cold, it’s lemony

Fresh or canned; concentrated
Frozen, powdered, sometimes grated
Tarty taste is loved or hated

Lemon tree has much to render
Meaty fruit so moist and tender
Satisfying any gender

Flavors candy, cough drops, cake
Used in many foods we bake
Cookies for a coffee break

Pudding, sherbet, icing, too
Oh, what lemon trees can do!
I like lemons—how ‘bout you?
