Shel Silverstein
"Ol' man Simon, planted a diamond. Grew hisself a garden the likes of none. Sprouts all growin' comin' up glowin' Fruit of jewels all shinin' in the sun. Colors of the rainbow. See the sun and the rain grow sapphires and rubies on ivory vines, Grapes of jade, just ripenin' in the shade, just ready for the squeezin' into green jade wine. Pure gold corn there, Blowin' in the warm air. Ol' crow nibblin' on the amnythyst seeds. In between the diamonds, Ol' man Simon crawls about pullin' out platinum weeds. Pink pearl berries, all you can carry, put 'em in a bushel and haul 'em into town. Up in the tree there's opal nuts and gold pears- Hurry quick, grab a stick and shake some down. Take a silver tater, emerald tomater, fresh plump coral melons. Hangin' in reach. Ol' man Simon, diggin' in his diamonds, stops and rests and dreams about one... real... peach."
Shel Silverstein (Where the Sidewalk Ends)

Jacqueline Kelly
"One day I would have all the books in the world, shelves and shelves of them. I would live my life in a tower of books. I would read all day long and eat peaches. And if any young knights in armor dared to come calling on their white chargers and plead with me to let down my hair, I would pelt them with peach pits until they went home."

"Life is better than death, I believe, if only because it is less boring, and because it has fresh peaches in it."

"Girl-
You're a part time lover and a full time friend
The monkey on your back is the latest trend
I don't see what anyone can see in anyone else...
but you

boy-
I'll kiss you on the brain in the shadow of the train
I'll kiss you all starry eyed my body swingin' from side to side
I don't see what anyone can see in anyone else...
but you

girl-
Here is the church and here is the steeple
We sure are cute for two ugly people
I don't see what anyone can see in anyone else....
but you

boy-
Pebbles forgive me, the trees forgive
So why can't you forgive me
I don't see what anyone can see in anyone else...
but you

girl-
I will find my niche in your car
With my MP3, DVD, rumble pack guitar
I don't see what anyone can see in anyone else....
but you

both
du du du du du du du du du du du

girl
Up up down down left right left right B A start
Just because we use cheats doesn't mean we're not smart
I don't see what anyone can see in anyone else...
but you

boy
You are always tryin' to keep it real
I'm in love with how you feel
I don't see what anyone can see in anyone else...
but you

We both have shiny happy fits of rage
You want more fans, I want more stage
I don't see what anyone can see im anyone else...
but you

Don Quixote was a steel driving man
My name is Adam I'm your biggest fan
I don't see what anyone can see in anyone else...
but you

Squinched up your face and did a dance
Shook a little turd out of the bottom of your pants
I don't see what anyone can see in anyone else...
but you.....But you
