The Old Lime Tree

And then you drizzle with a lot of lime
wrote Erik in his recipe for tuna steaks.
Shucks, I thought. I have no limes. Tuna yes. Limes no.
But wait, I said to me. Wait.
And I went out in the street and up the hill a bit to the old lime tree that stands at the side of the street.
Miraculously, badly damaged by storms and old age and neglect, it still has limes.
And I picked a few and thought
there are things to be said for living in the woods.
Now I can make tuna steaks a la Erique.
