Make mine unsweetened
No fretting over villanelle
or poetry by guerrilla warfare
but rather squeeze them
. . . into lemonade
and picture me in my old age
more poetic than one old gray mare
I'd rather turn life
. . . into lemonade
in theory I will then become
a "matroness" of laissez faire
and hope they, too, turn
. . . into lemonade.
and require less sweetener
or tiptoed avoidance and care
to turn their lives
. . . into lemonade.

I would never call you an old gray mare. You're much too good looking.;)
I would like some sweetener though, no puckered lips for me. :)
Brian - Flattery earns points! But more like you've figured out I would either slug you or trip you if you did - I'll leave the sweetener for you and my husband and the others like you, I like it au natural. Thanks for reading and commenting!
This is wonderful! Such fun and spirt in this piece.
Get Zapped - Glad you saw the fun in it. Thank you for commenting on it!
Marcia,
This is awesome. I love how you played with it and made it a commentary to not take things too seriously. ;-0

Rel, I did play, in two ways, because this is one of the few I also "played" to get a pattern of some sort, ie., one of the few I edit at all. Lemonade has become my new motto! Thank you for commenting on it.
This is fun and no sweetener for me either...
