An Ode to Georgia Peach
The most ordinary perfect peach in the world
I'll eat you in a short second,
But for now, I'll just admire you.
The red and yellow hues of your furry skin,
The firmness and roundness of your shape,
The smell of ripeness you give out that makes
My tongue and mouth long in anticipation.
I imagine how I sink my teeth
Into your flesh, not too firm to be tasteless
And not too soft to make you drip.
It still retains your juice so that it doesn't
Run on my fingers and chin (I only like that in pears).
As I taste you, my mind will travel
To the most exotic tropical places.
A peach on a beach makes me happy.
I know all this without cutting you up
Because you are a Georgia peach,
The most beautiful ordinary peach
That costs $.99 per pound in high summer.
Time to enjoy you, perfection!

Hi Lana - I've heard from so many since my recent accident; especially from the folks at Vocal Social Society. I'm better now but just overwhelmed with the well wishes. I don't think you go onto that site - So I wanted to say back here that I've always appreciated your support and I'm so glad you've liked my silly stories/and goofy sketches; fun for me at this stage. I do miss the old timers such as Doc Sherwood & Randy Knock - I can't imagine why they just disappeared. My Respect, Jay
Dear Ms. Lana - I fear that you've backed off of me re; one of my latest artitcles. I'm sorry for that I've always enjoyed our interactions. *I will delete this in a few minutes. Best to you, j.in.l.a.
