Particularly like that opening line.<br /><br />Writebite - I'm very much looking forward to fatherhood too :)<br /><br />And I feel like he's already taught us a lot.

Though there were a lot of over ripe ones we had to cull.<br /><br />That's quite the unexpected turn your poem took. I like it!<br /><br />Writebite - that would be one heck of a moment. I've already promised our baby that he'll get to stay up for next year's edition of this meteor shower :)<br /><br />Brendacious - love it!

Although you're no doubt going to tell me that Canadian nectarines weigh about 10 pounds each and that selling thirty is easy :)<br />It was a bit overcast in London so I don't think we'd have had much chance to see the Perseids, though I would have liked to.
