Pears

Jane won’t eat pears. No matter the context.
Stranded on Pear Planet.
Attacked by toothy pears.
Armed with only a pear fork.
Peckish.
Oh, she’ll kill ’em. Oh sure.
She can be savage.
But she won’t eat the flesh or drink the juice.
And she doesn’t want to talk about it.

    heroic imp, cancel the spice channel.
    asian pears were domesticated in china about the same time european pears were in europe, 3000 years ago. perhaps this knowledge will alter jane’s tastes.
    cec, earle estates and goose watch wineries in ny makes pear wine. showcase during next tasting?
