The Supermarket Veg Approach to Romance

Cor looks great

Nice n juicy

Nice n straight.

Yum – unblemished,

Will be good for me.

 

Yeuk – looks nobbly

Some bits are bad

Some bits are bobbly.

Poo – blemished,

Will be bad for me.

 

Idiot.

Oh well...that poo-blemished made me wonder though...then I thought maybe it was a figure of speech?..like Poo! it's blemished ??

If it is the other...you can keep em!!

And I like the sentiment..

Beauty is in the eye of the consumer.
Enjoyed this it highlights a huge problem in the western world where the search for perfection results in a criminal amount of waste.

We'll have to have words with the Veg-Police. Any filth is in the mind of the reader - I don't have a mind so can't find it at all naughty - more's the pity. ta muchly, nick.

Nobbly, bobbly (and even the "bad" bits - which are easily trimmed) I can do. But "poo-blemished"? No way Jose. All those misshapen yet flavoursome beauties - nature's naughty sculptures - pile 'em on - carrot erotica, parsnip porn - it matters not, I embrace it wholeheartedly. But "poo-blemished"? Nope, not even for a Tesco double bogof and the Coop divi (with the GreenShield Stamps) would anything "poo-blemished" pass these fair and delicate lips. Trust me, poo-blemished = e.coli. Just don't do poo man, it's not right . . .

Unless we are talking courgettes and marrows of course - which you definitely don't want knobbly and blemished ;)

What an interesting analogy Dave. You are right. No-one is perfect - the secret is learning to love the imperfection as well - taking someone lock stock and barrel - or you end up all alone one day - alone and bunged up cos you never got your 5 a day.
