Life of a Lemon

Brrr…it sure is cold in here! I can hear all my fellow fruit friends escaping out there, but I’m trapped here inside the refrigerator! Oh I’m sorry, I didn’t introduce myself. I am Larry the Lemon, and I don’t want to be eaten.

They took my sister Lucy yesterday, along with a bunch of her friends and squeezed them! Why would they do something like that? Don’t they know lemons have feelings too?
But I’ve been inspired! So many fruits have been escaping the kitchen lately, and I plan on doing the same. If they can do it, then I can too!

When the refrigerator door opens, and that light goes on, then I’ll jump and hopefully roll to freedom! Then I shall go and find a nice warm climate with lots of lemon trees. It’ll be a nice change from this frigid environment.

Well, wish me luck! I’m Larry the Lemon, and when life gives you lemons, don’t make lemonade, set them free!
