A Diabetic Monkey

A monkey fell sick of diabetes
To a doctor he went for medical aid

Doctor told him passionately;
“To avoid dying soon, never eat ripe bananas”

Monkey vowed never to eat bananas
On the way he saw ripe bananas and thought;

Doctor told me not to eat bananas- but not to see
and he moved near to see properly.. but…;

Doctor told me not to eat- but not to touch
and he moved near and touched.. but..;

Doctor told me not to eat- but not to smell
and he took the banana and smelt… but…

Doctor told me not to eat- but not to peel
and he peeled off the cover…but…

Doctor told me not to eat -but not to bite
and he opened his mouth and bit…but…!!!?
