There is this girl down the street
With cupped hands and an impossibly large mouth
Selling her
“FRESHSWEETLEMONAAADE!”
“FRESHSWEETLEMONAAADE!”
There are two little brothers shaded yellow
With colored fingers and unsteady words
Selling their
Lemonade only 50¢
Lemonade only 50¢
FRESH
Ignorance is bliss?
SWEET
Savor every bit.
LEMONADE
Take it all in.
The sweetness brings me back,
And I thank them for that.
