Do I dare to eat a peach?

Atoms for Peace

I shall wear white flannel trousers and walk upon the beach.

A peach. I could eat a peach for hours.

You'd be better off with a pear, floating in perfume, served in a man's hat.

S’io credesse che mia risposta fosse
A persona che mai tornasse al mondo,
Questa fiamma staria senza piu scosse.
Ma perciocche giammai di questo fondo
Non torno vivo alcun, s’i’odo il vero,
Senza tema d’infamia ti rispondo.

I grow old....I grow old.... I shall wear the bottoms of my trousers rolled...

We shall eat peaches in our dreams, til human voices wake us, and we drown.

The Backwards Man

It's no wonder poets die destitute, takes them twenty stanzas to write what the rest of us can put in one sentence.

Ask her if she wants a ride, Prufrock.

Walking on the beaches looking at the peaches

Fruit Stand
A guy was driving down a long stretch of country highway, when he approached a fruit stand. The sign above read, "We have peaches that taste like anything and everything, guaranteed!"
The man thought about it, and decided to stop. He thought this has to be bull****. So he approaches the old, feeble man behind the stand and says," So, you have peaches that taste like strawberries and cream?"
The old man hands him a peach and the driver takes a bite.
"Mmmmmm, tastes like strawberries," he says.
"Turn it around," the old man says.
The driver turns it around, bites into it, and the other side tastes like cream. The man thinks for a second, and says, "How 'bout steak and baked potato?"
The old man behind the stand looks for a second, and then comes up with a new peach. He hands it to the weary traveler. He bites into it.
"Tastes like steak," he says.
"Turn it around," the old man says.
"Wow, POTATO!"
The traveler thinks really hard for about 2 minutes before he finally blurts out, "O.K. old man, I bet you don't have one that tastes like pussy!"
The old man produces another peach very quickly and hands it to the driver. He takes a big bite out of it, chews a couple of times, spits it out, and says, "Man, this tastes like SHI*T!!"
The old man just grins and says,"Turn it around!"

30 years since I did that bloody poem yet instsntly recognised the thread title. But if you want another classic try Gray's Elegy Written In A Country Churchyard.

That is not what I meant, at all.”:(

Millions of peaches, peaches for me
Millions of peaches, peaches for free

You know - when people change
They gain a peach, but they lose one too.

Arms that are braceleted and white and bare
(But in the lamplight, downed with light brown hair!)

It's a poem about werewolves.

I didn't do it for the Leaving so I found this thread mightily confusing at first. I did get the reference below immediately though, which reflects badly on my cultural knowledge I think :pac:

Welcome to my world!

But what I have to contribute on the subject will easily make up for any of my shortcomings : look out for donut peaches from Spain when you are next in Supervalu, folks. They are called Plain Star, come in the packet of 6 and are the real deal. Sweet, juicy, delicious. I just bought another packet yesterday.

OP, of course you dare to eat a peach: you're not scared, are you?

Just a couple of things you should know first...

The outside is a little fuzzy but the interior is juicy and sweet.
The flesh varies in colour.
Take the time to enjoy it, and understand that at its best, it is a messy business. Best done in private, to be honest.
Oh, and watch out for the juice running down your chin.

Bon Appétit!

So peaches pay tax, but not garlic and very little from Apples

Well that explains the ftee-thinking anarchy. You'll be sitting through national anthems next!

A most wonderful narration of this master-piece.

Word to the wise about white trousers. Dont fart in them. They are unforgiving.
