How to eat a pear
First choose a pear that is ripe but firm.
Cradle it - wait -
for just a moment
before you sink your teeth into its tender flesh.
Savour the sweetness slipping over your tongue
satiating your desire.
Let its juice dribble down your chin and onto your fingers.
Eating a pear is best done alone. It is not
for group consumption
unless at a polite dinner party
where you use a knife and
feign indifference.
By, Liz.
