Lemonade Stand

Get your ice cold glass of lemonade!
Hurry, 'fore it's gone.
We made it just this morning.
See the table that it's on?


We promise that you'll like it
and there's sugar in it, too --
not like it was the other day
when mom and dad said Ewww.


Get your ice cold glass of lemonade!
Boy, grownups sure are funny --
they smile a lot at little kids
who are trying to make money.


Thank you, maam, and thank you, sir,
you've helped us out a bunch.
Sissy, let's go make some more.
It's almost time for lunch.


Get your ice cold glass of lemonade!
Only fifteen cents a glass!
We've got to make more money
and we've got to make it fast.


Daddy said it wouldn't work,
that people wouldn't stop.
They'd hurry right on past us
and then they'd laugh a lot.


One last glass of lemonade!
This was so much fun!
Let's get this table put away
and then we've got to run.


Sissy look ... it's snowing!
But that will be all right.
Now we have money for presents
and Santa Claus comes tonight.

CJ I was browsing around the den reading tonight...found this poem, read it and have fell in love with it. You have written this from a child's innocent point of view, for this is just as a child would think...to have a lemonade stand in the winter to make money for Christmas... I love the ending makes me a bit misty eyed...this is so sweet. Wonderful write my friend.
Blessings,
Joyce Bowling

O what things that would make us happy then. Kids want more and more now. Cute write; brought back memories. The kids need more of this instead of videos games of killing each other.
Peace&Grace,

On the surface this may just look like a neat little kids poem, but once again you have pointed out a great lesson. Kids don't look at the negative, selling lemonade in cold weather, they just look at the positive. Us grownups could take a good lesson here.
