Jammin'

First there were these:

lots and lots of brambles!

Which means that there are these:

oh, look at those berries!

Which means that there are lots of these:

so ripe!

Which means that I got lots of these:

so many berries!

 So I made lots of this!

jam!

more jam!

I had some time to myself while picking and picking and picking berries, and I got to thinking about the phrase a peach out of reach, a phrase meaning a lovely thing that you just can't have. So, if a peach out of reach is something that you want and just can't have, would a blackberry out of reach be something lovely that you want and can't have, and will end up bleeding if you try to obtain said lovely thing? Thing is, the latter phrase looses all the flow of the rhyming phrase of a peach out of reach.

Hmm.

Some suggestions: A berry that will parry? A bit esoteric, perhaps. A fruit that will fight? Doesn't really convey the message.

What do you think?
