This Is Not A Balloon

A Cozy New Suit

You lurk deep, little lemon, you lurk deep. Somehow, amongst all your yellow-suited brothers and sisters in the bottom of the refrigerator drawer, you decided to change clothes -- is this really necessary, or are you just a show-off? Either way, you look adorable. Not quite as charming as a freshly-baked puppy, but still pretty fuzzy and cute. But cuteness pays a price! You will not be dining with me tonight. You will be dining by yourself, in the bottommost part of the trash can.

Sorry, my lemon.

A. One!
