My head spins with goop

Apologies for being a lemon

Even though I like lemons

As the flu crept in through tears

 

Apologies for being a lemon

I tried to self-diagnose

But when my knee audibly screamed

I couldn’t walk and I cried with anger.

I tried to self-diagnose

But ended up in the ER where I would have

Loved to be a lemon

All juiced up, instead I became dehydration

Bursitis, maybe tendonitis but women know

Apologies for being a  lemon

Post-menopause could be  the reason

The flu crept in through tears

But my knee audibly screamed

My brain spins like goop

Knocking paintings off the walls.

Apologies for being a lemon

The flu, the knee, the lenon, the value

Of a lemon to make ginger tea

I couldn’t walk and cried with anger .

But I spent more money because a little is never enough.

Of a lemon to make ginger tea

Is the least of it.

A little is never enough

I lost my crown, flipped right off.

We cannot just give up my crown

The flu, the knee, the lemon, the value

Of a crown to chew on now.

A little is never enough.
