The Argyle Sweater by Scott Hilburn for August 14, 2022

Not a sublime feeling, though together they might make Sprite!

Just take vitamin C and that’ll fix you up.

You’ll end your life on an expensive cocktail. Lemons die floating in water no one will drink in restaurants.

Dr. Lamont Murang? Does anyone else see that?

He may have Lime Disease, but he’ll probably end up with Corona.

I see that the doctor has some of the necessary medical equipment at hand: gauze, needle,… and a juicer?

That makes me bitter.

Dr. Lemon looks like a Minion.

Later he was compelled to join the Royal Navy.

The Key is served up in the Sweet Pie-and-Pie. Lime will tell.

Let’s go have a Corona

Doc: "Don’t get tart with me. Pucker up, time for your exam. "

He got Lime disease because he was tick’ed off.

Lime? “Jello!”

His office is in a seedy part of town.

It’s a bitter-sweet thing I tell you!

First treatment: Put him in de cocanut!

Did he end up in a coconut?

Tick, Doc?

He should go down to Key West.

More delicious? I would think so, but is that a common opinion that limes are better?

It’s not that easy bein’ green

Having to spend each day

The color of the leaves

When I think it could be nicer

Bein’ red or yellow or gold

Or something much more colorful like that

It’s not that easy bein’ green

It seems you blend in

With so many other ordinary things

And people tend to pass you over

‘Cause you’re not standing out

Like flashy sparkles in the water

Or stars in the sky

But green’s the color of spring

And green can be cool and friendly like

And green can be big like an ocean

Or important like a mountain or tall like a tree

When green is all there is to be

It could make you wonder why

But why wonder, why wonder?

I am green and it’ll do fine

It’s beautiful and I think it’s what I wanna be

go home and have a shot of tequila. You’ll be fine.

Margarita anyone?

He came up lime.

Doc, just make sure I don’t go down like 7-Up!!

Save it for margaritas.
