My Sweet Zest
Colorless unhappiness, racking my mind
Existence tedious, life is a grind
Lugubrious emptiness, depression combined
Ravenous appetence, ungratified
I yearn a kick - of zip and bliss
To inspire a bit of blitheness
I need a hit - of Lemon Zest
Loan me some from your spice rack
I promise that I will pay you right back
With an exciting tangy kiss
Laced with a bit of sweet citrus
Upon your luscious lips
Only Christ knows how much I love lemons
And you - My Lemon Zest
Existence tedious, life is a grind
Lugubrious emptiness, depression combined
Ravenous appetence, ungratified
I yearn a kick - of zip and bliss
To inspire a bit of blitheness
I need a hit - of Lemon Zest
Loan me some from your spice rack
I promise that I will pay you right back
With an exciting tangy kiss
Laced with a bit of sweet citrus
Upon your luscious lips
Only Christ knows how much I love lemons
And you - My Lemon Zest

I absolutely LOVE this! The double-rhyme is brilliant, snuggle! And Lemon anything rocks!

When life hands you lemons ...
You taught me a new word - lugubrious!

Same as Johnny, I had to look up lugubrious.
Never thought of lemon as a spice, I'm still if it's a fruit or a vegetable.
Awesome spill. Good luck on the comp sir.
