Banana Flambeau

Banana Flambeau,
is very fine fare.
It isn't well known,
that's why it's so rare.
They lit it on fire,
and singed Nana's hair,
The damn place went wild.
gave us a scare.
Old Nana's alright,
Just a wig, not her hair.
Although Banana Flambeau,
can be Dangerous Fare.

Ha, ha. Hilarious... I remember some comic once talking about 'monkey flambeau' being served in a restaurant. Can you imagine?! (Hope they didn't light the wrong end of a gorilla. WHEW!).
