Still Life of Lemons

Hope this makes you smile Andrew!

He laid 
the lemons,
delicately,
on the old 
wooden table
in the middle
of the kitchen,
as if they
were precious,
but more 
so they wouldn’t 
roll off. 

Still Life of Lemons by Andrew Nelson Stover

‘What’s with
the lemons?’

‘Thought they
were pretty!’

‘Where’d you
get’em?’

‘Farmer’s market,
down at the harbor.’

“What’re you going
to do with them?’

‘Paint’em!’

‘What color?’
