Lemons

I have often heard people say;
"When life gives you lemons, you make lemonade!"
And I was thinking about it today,
When I realized it isn't as simple as they say.

To make lemonade, you need more than the fruit.
You need sugar and water to make the juice.
Then you need a knife, a jug, and some cups too.

If you want all that, you must go to your store.
Often you'll have to travel a mile, or more.
So a bike would be nice, or time to kill.
You'll also need money, or to steal.

All that just to make the lemonade!
So it's not all easy-peezy-lemon-squeezey,
As many people believe.

That doesn't mean we shouldn't try
To make the best of a bad day.
I believe it just means we shouldn't expect everyone to be able to take
The lemons life gave one and make lemonade.
