The Lemon

The Lemon
A lemony postcard from 1906 that was connected to the "23 skidoo" fad that was popular at the time (notice the "23" on the hat or whatever it is that's on top of the lemon's head).

To find out what lemons meant in the early twentieth century and how they were connected to 23 skidoo, see Skidoo 23 Is Now 37.

For more postcards, see my 23 Skidoo and Lemons Too album.

The Lemon

Oh, something that's yellow and egg-shape, not round!
You buy by the dozen, in crates they are found;
Oh, something that's handed out freely each day,
"For yours" this portrait now comes to say.
