Let's Go Coconuts

Some people flip out. Do they end up like a pancake? Do they topple onto their head? Some people have breakdowns. Do they wake up needing fixing in some asylum’s bed?. Some people just go crazy, but they “go” in different ways. They might go nuts or go bananas. Are they in a monkey phase? I’ve heard of going ape, so it makes sense to say to go nuts or bananas, apes might eat those foods all day! I’ve heard that apes and monkeys eat coconuts as well. They only have to find a rock and break through the hard shell. I say let’s go coconuts. First rocks we’ll need to find to crack those babies open. Then we can feel free to lose our mind!

Love your fun poem Andrea :-) Interestingly enough I just bought a small coconut the other day. Always a nice treat to eat and drink fresh coconut water. Hugs Anne :-)

a delightful read from the get-go, Andrea. I think we're all a bit 'crazy' at times, bananas as you say. I taught for many years, and frequently my students said, "OMG, Mrs. Baker is bananas today!" I had to laugh. Thanks for an uplifting read, Sara
