Erotic!

Was it Keats who wrote about the sensuous experience of crushing grape between toungue and palate?
I view the grape as a young maiden, but then I would, wouldn't I?
Really like it and am tempted to have a go!
Cheers!

Either him or that cretin off Crackerjack!

who was it who said
"ooh - I could crush a grape!"
Not to denigrate your haiku to the flourishing vine. |

That cretin! I don't know his name.
Cheers |
Crack-open-another?

Don't know the Crackerjack fellow.
V. - was that our friend Frankie Howerd?
I strongly suspect as much!
Ha!
Cheers!

No, Tolstoy - the 'crush a grape' herbert was the Crackerjack cretin!
Even our Frankie wouldn't go that low!
Cheers |
Stu Francis!

Just googled it and it was Stu Francis - never heard of him, consciously.
But didn't Frankie H. say 'Call me Francis, well why don't you?' or some such, which might account for some errant 'cling-clang' association in my feeble subconscious?
Still like your Haiku BTW!
Cheers!

It's Friday, it's five to five and it's Crackerjack. The answer is: Stu Francis. Not my favourite entertainer - in fact 'cretin' is generous.
Like the weeping man said - sensuous. Liked it.

| I think our posts crossed, John. |
Max Bygraves . . .

. . . it was, my further research reveals, who said at the age of 85 and evidently frail,
"I feel so strong I could crush a grape!"
Stu Francis presumably nicked the line?
Dunno! My chronology may be well out here!
Cheers!

Thank fuck for that! Sorry I was flippant regarding Crackerjack cretins! And Bygraves aswell now!
Jesus!
It's me weeping, mush! Stone me.
Cheers, lads, at least I can sleep tonight. |
I'm ashamed...

...that I remembered the grape-crushing line, even without provenance, and caused a flurry of crackerjack references, and a naughty word from the mouth of our Welsh bard.
A bit to much of the pinot, perhaps? |
