Once day a Corvette was on its way to hangout with family and friends when it looked up at a billboard and fell in love with a peach.
It was the most perfectly fresh peach that one could ever imagined. Even going by at speed, the Corvette could see its soft fuzz. A small slice had been taken from it and was lying at the front of the billboard. The Vette could see the sweet moist flesh, perfectly ripe, red and yellow — totally gorgeous!
“I love that peach!” said the Corvette, and veering off the freeway at the next offramp, it made its way back through the city streets to find the billboard peach. And then there she was!
The Corvette parked, turned off its engine, turned on the radio and settled in to flirt, joke, adore and enjoy some superfun.
Six months later the sign company came and took down the billboard and put up a picture of a bottle of Coke. They had to ask the Vette to move to get in close enough to do their work.
“What happened to my peach?” said the Corvette as workers left.
“I think they must have all sold all the ones they had in stock,” said the workmen.
Then the Corvette hung its head, drove away through the city streets, hopped on the freeway and headed up to the house.
When it got there, no one was home.
