Lucy & Luke
LUCY & LUKE/
WEBMASTERS
Luke is eating an apple; it tastes like a dream. Lucy is eating stawberries; peaches and cream! We don' seem to get enough fruit, not when compared to the amount of chocolates, cakes, sweets, biscuits, etc. we put away. If we were fruits we'd want to be eaten by Tarzan. We just saw the new cartoon. What a way to go!

This banana is not sending any info from my tongue to my brain at this moment. I eat as much fruit as I can have! I'd like to be consumed by myself because whoever eats me is myself in a different form anyway.

WHO KNOWS?
I'm eating strawberries; they're sweet and yummy. I don't get to eat as much fruit as I'd like. If I were a fruit I'd be a strawberry, and hope I was picked by my girlfriend-so I could be her strawberry.

We all know fruit is berry healthy for us, but it seems kiwi don't give a fig. According to currant trends, long life is our raisin d'etre, a good body (a good pear of legs, a lovely set of coconuts etc.) the apple of our eyes... grape idea but it's never gonna happen. This week our cherry melon-choly reporter asks peach of you to share your berrytales: Which fruits a-peel most, and if you could be anyone's forbidden fruit, who would it be? Ba-na-na-na: The fruits of his labor follow.

This banana tastes flowery, musty and vitamin-enriched. I try to get about two or three pieces of fruit every day. I'll let myself be eaten by anyone naughty enough who isn't afraid of smearing sticky sweet juice of the fruit all over my muscles.

This mikan is bitter right now but sweet and juicy as I bite into it. I don't eat enough fruit so I gulp down juice and bite on vitamins. I'd like to be eaten by Shizuka, of course; look what she's doing to the banana!
