Hellllpppppppp I'Ve Lost My Banana

Went to get my banana as I headed for the door It had been on the table that much I know for sure Last night I put it ready to take with me to work Now it has gone AWOL and I feel such a berk I’d gone into the kitchen I was busy multitasking Picked up my banana, but where is it now I’m asking Had been to brush my teeth its something I always do But it isn’t in the bathroom what am I going to do I’ve checked the kitchen cupboard and underneath my chair The microwave and fridge – oh damn it isn’t there Got into my car and listened to ‘The Pearl Fishers’ Maybe my poor banana is somewhere lurking in a fissure Now I’m back at home and of bananas I do dream The little yellow fiend it still cannot be seen I’m starting to worry now that I am turning mad And I’m also pretty hungry that really is so sad I will continue in my quest to find the missing fruit Cos this pain in my tummy is turning quite acute If I can’t locate it today I may get quite depressed I need to find that banana and put my mind at rest Jan Allison 14th May 2014

Thanks for dropping by Robin. You Need to read Darren Watson's 'Fun Games' poem and my follow up 'fun and games with my banana' - Darren is VERY naughty (but he blames me for this) but I love writing with him so I do forgive him :-) Hugs as ever Jan xxx

Yes, we have no bananas, we have no bananas today! Pearl fishing? Hmmm... That can be fun, too.

The Pearl fishers by Bizet is one of my favourite duets Roy I get shivers down the spine when I hear it I have 2 versions but prefer the Pavorotti version. If you read on you will find my banana has been found - read fun and games with my banana and Darren Watson! Hugs Jan xxxx

You can get more at the store for about 59 cents a pound or less. In Great Britain, that would be about 35 pence for 400 grams. Impressive write.
