Of lemons and lemonade

Bring me lemons
I'll make lemonade
I'll make it thoroughly
and slowly
and carefully
I'll sip it to the last drop
I'll make it last

Give me a life of lemonades
Acid lemons of drawbacks
to be swallowed without pain
-should it ever be possible;
(otherwise...?)

Drink sweet cherry brandy
instead -
get drunk with cheer,
and wait for the next lemons
in your drink
-- they'll come, baby

Bring me lemonades,
please!
bittersweet lemonades,
and finally surrender.
