Life is like a lemon tree...?

Question

...how do you explain this?

Answer 1

the tree is symbolic of life and the lemon is symbolic of fruit or labor we bear The results of that labor can be sour which can be bad or refreshingly tangy

Answer 2

It's from a song that was popular back in the 60s,

"LEMON TREE
Will Holt- Boulder Music Corp.-BMI
When I was just a lad of ten, my father said to me,
"Come here and take a lesson from the lovely lemon tree."
"Don't put your faith in love, my boy", my father said to me,
"I fear you'll find that love is like the lovely lemon tree."

Lemon tree very pretty and the lemon flower is sweet
but the fruit of the poor lemon is impossible to eat.
Lemon tree very pretty and the lemon flower is sweet
but the fruit of the poor lemon is impossible to eat.

One day beneath the lemon tree, my love and I did lie
A girl so sweet that when she smiled the stars rose in the sky.
We passed that summer lost in love beneath the lemon tree
the music of her laughter hid my father's words from me:

Lemon tree very pretty and the lemon flower is sweet
but the fruit of the poor lemon is impossible to eat.
Lemon tree very pretty and the lemon flower is sweet
but the fruit of the poor lemon is impossible to eat.

One day she left without a word. She took away the sun.
And in the dark she left behind, I knew what she had done.
She'd left me for another, it's a common tale but true.
A sadder man but wiser now I sing these words to you:

Lemon tree very pretty and the lemon flower is sweet
but the fruit of the poor lemon is impossible to eat.
Lemon tree very pretty and the lemon flower is sweet
but the fruit of the poor lemon is impossible to eat"

Answer 4

reminds of that short bushy thick lemon tree with a lot of fruits when I was 12 years old.

well, it gives me a lot of lemons - i like the juice that has the sweetness and a bit of sourness. i often taste whatever i taste, depending on situation. eating just the fruit is an interesting task. and i didn't like it much but i liked it enough I did it anyway.

and there is plenty of free vitamin C.
