Ode To Bananas

An ode to bananas.

Banana, banana

You delight us all

We wonder if you'd grow in a savannah

To you we all crawl

If I don't eat you soon I'll start to bawl

Your hard skin will break under my nails

Sweet juice will drip onto my shawl

Gorgeous fruit, to you I hail

If I squeeze you your skin goes brown

Your golden yellow is pretty not funky

But when you're green or black I frown

I never leave enough of you for a monkey

To the grocery store I will bike

I crave only your soft flesh

When midnight hunger strikes

I will find you in baskets made of mesh

As I finally break your peel

Your taste is seductive

To me you appeal

But now I'm supposed to be doing homework and my mother says eating you is not productive

This is a beautiful piece of poetry. It really captures the essence of bananas. I often wonder if anyone appreciates them as much as I do. I guess someone actually does. I love it. 100 points!
