Notes About The Poem

A Fruity And Funny Poetry Contest N/A

Bananas

Bananas

Here come the sailors of the Seventh Fleet
With their bananas ripe, ready to eat
The ladies, they like them firm
Musty one’s make them squirm
Why can’t liberty always be so sweet!

Limes

They’re green and round not yellow and curvy
Bruised or mushed never—topsy turvy!
Peeled back skin often slimy
Best citrus fresh and limey
Sailor lime-juicer’s sucked to cure scurvy

David Kavanagh Date: 8/24/2023 3:37:00 PM Both of these are really clever and allusive Anaya weather intended or not, ok I’ve a dirty mind, innuendo is off the scale, I’m going with limes but it’s a split decision, brilliant cheer’s David Login to Reply I Am Anaya Date: 8/24/2023 6:39:00 PM Yes, I know what you liked the most, the gorgeous blond having her way with banana!

Hiya Sharma Date: 8/23/2023 7:52:00 PM Oh, haha, such creatively scribbled limericks! Brilliantly done with excellent wordplay..
