L is for Lemons.
L is for Lucky.
L is for . . .
LOVE.

Lis for lemons, andLis for lingering before leaving home.Lis for everything to look at along the way: lightning and lazy lions and a lonely leopard.Lis for the loud, large city where you will sell your sunny fruit–Lis for Lagos!Lis for the light streaming out of your windows as you arrive home late at night. And best of all . . .Lis for love.
