The Lemonade Stand

Folder: 
Fun Poems

Young Donald made his lemonade

And sold it every day

To all the thirsty passers-by

And they’d bend down and say:



“Just take a look at this young man

He wants to make a buck

He’s quite the little entrepreneur

I wish him lots of luck”



Then Donald made a partnership

With Bobby down the street

They set up a stand

A table covered with a sheet



Bobby made the lemonade

And Donald sold the stuff

They made a pretty penny

But it was not enough



Then Donald turned to Bobby

And he frowned a weighty frown

He sighed and said “Bobby

Our profits have gone down



You've taken fifty percent

But little Jimmy Clive

Is willing to do all your work

For only thirty-five



You’ve been working slowly

Doing less than is required

And so I have to tell you

That I’m sorry, but you’re fired”



A sad little tear

Welled up in Bobby’s eye

But Donald turned away

He didn’t even say goodbye



And all the passing people

Saw that greedy little pig

But all they did was smile and say:

“He’s gonna make it big”
