Would you push your way through a thicket
Travel unknown paths
Brave hordes of grasshoppers
And wasp nests
For a plum?
If the plums are greengages, you would. Think of the sweetest plum you’ve ever eaten, the most perfect apricot, combine them, add a hint of lime and you have the food of the gods — greengage plums.
