This guy i like very much,once wrote a blog about pears (yeah, the fruit Pear) more than a couple of years ago..
.It was a 'poetic prose' of how; though the pear is the underdog(atleast according to him , it is an underdog?I personally don't think the pear is the underdog at all) in terms of how it looks and how one perhaps needs a knife to be able to peel it (he think one needs to peel the pear before you eat it?I always eat pears with the peel! ) and such and then finally ,
he writes a punch line of how; though ,inspite of all this,he still gets the pear..
He says " I still get you !"( or something to that account though i don't recall the exact words he wrote) as the last line of the prose poem piece talking about the pear!
And two years later,I went back to his blog and out of whim and fancy posted a comment on that blog entry about the pear, of what came out spontaneously out of me when i went back there -
Here is My own version of " Ode to the pear"
You see, I have a whole different take on the 'pear'..I DON'T THINK IT IS THE UNDERDOG IN THE FIRST PLACE....I mean..if you have a fixed idea of what an UPPER DOG IS (if the term even exists) then ofcourse, anything that deviates from that norm of the characteristics of what seemingly is class material and what is the poor cousin of the class material,you might find it as an underdog...
So, since i have no fixed ideas of what is A grade and what is perhaps the unnoticed and uncherished B grade...i consider the pear NOT an underdog.. LOL
Anyways here goes the comment i left on there on his blog about the PEAR
" Ode to the pear !!!
I looooove pears... the gritty yet interesting juicy texture... the just right sweetness and the thin skin.. the shape is fantastic as one feels it in one’s palm before proceeding to make that crunchy bite while the juice flows in a single drip down the angle of your mouth onto your chin.. you bite on till you finish the pear,peel and all . till all that is left is the stalk attached to the core with the seeds.... the teeth feel squeaky clean .. and the parched throat feels pleasantly moist but not acidic... the tummy is happy and life is livable again.. Pear is indeed the fruit from GOD"
