The strangest fruit I’ve seen
No, it isn’t Charles Nelson Reilly.
It’s this lemon, courtesy of the tree in my back yard. Freud would have a field day interviewing people about what they see in this. To me, it looks like an alien succubus, or a lemon giving birth to another lemon, or an outgrowth on Swamp Thing, or the Elephant Man’s backside, or Tim Burton’s take on the Emmy Award, or a lemon grown near Chernobyl.
Other thoughts?

Are you living on top of an atomic waste site from the 60’s?

Looks to me like Modern Art.

Do you really have a tree in your back?

Yes, and it’s killing me!

I think it’s like Michaelangleo’s painting where man is trying to touch the divine. Notice how the bottom lemon is cupping or uplifting the smaller one?

I agree with Valorie, but tend to think it’s metaphor from the fruit world of how we should support and lift up only the most beautiful and perfect of our species.
