Why Bananas Help You Sleep

Bananas are As a rule Fun to have around All yellow and soft And curvy So delicious when they're peeled They'll ride around with you All day wherever you go As a rule Without complaining Apart from the odd occasion When the journey's been a little long They’ll hint with their own particular perfume At the end of a long day You lay the banana Face up On the pillow next to you It smiles Knowingly Should you fall asleep It will still be there In the morning Smiling Inviting Tempting A quick snack before breakfast

I like the perfume concept after a long day in a hot bag, but whether I'd like a ripe banana on my pillow remains untested. Nice write mate.
