Well Galz n' Gentz - I just resurrected and re-formatted this oldie, from 15 years ago.
Although original post here at AD was 5 years ago, only received 5 Reviews - in May, 2003 - let's see what this version does.
LADIES -You might want to go get an ice-cold drink first - a couple of Women thought this was -
HOT - HOT - HOT ! :) :) :)
On a Nectarine
Thomas K. Hyland, Jr.
Copyright: May 31, 1993
Such Succulence! Such Firmness!
The Curvatures of the Orb Accentuate
The Depths of Her Valleys.
The Velvety Smoothness of Her Skin,
Quite Unlike the Fuzziness of the Peach,
Nearly Bursts to Expose Her Fleshy Juices,
The Secret Nectar of the Gods!
Is there Another Prodigy of Mother Nature
Quite as Promiscuous and Sensuous?
Such Pulpiness! Such Profundity!
That First Plunge into Her Sweetness
Causes One to Savor Her Satiety,
Momentarily Sending the Senses Reeling.
She is the Seductive Siren who Wreaks Havoc
Upon the Taste Buds and Palate Alike.
Yet - Her Captivating Aroma Promises:
More, More, MORE!
Whereupon the Inept Diner Abruptly Discovers
Her True Soul - Within Her Moist Depths.
Such Rigidness! Such Unyielding Strength!
Her Seed, as Yet Un-Pierced,
Lies Protected within Her Pit,
Surrounded by Pithiness!
Alas! Now that We Have Done with Her,
She Will Be Cast Aside!
But - After a Time of Dormancy,
When the Warm Spring Sun
Follows Upon a Gentle Rain,
Her Budding Seedling
Shall Burst Forth Life Anew!

FOOTNOTES:
Don’t ask me why, but I tried to use as many words
Containing the letter -u- as I could think of -
I count 42 - can you find them?
Just for fun, now 15 years later,
I counted the letter -s- 81 of those!
The original title was simply ‘Woman”
But the Publisher thought that was too ‘Racy’
So, I just changed IT - added the last verse,
And Voila! Then they published!
