Bruisin' Bananas

Bananas be bruisin'
And I dunno why.
Bananas be bruisin'
They be covered in flies

Bananas used to be pretty cool,
They used to be yellow and stuff.
Bananas used to be pretty cool,
Now they just shriveled, the peel 
Rough

They brown, they yucky,
They ain't yellow like a ducky.
They sticky, they black,
Like a gangsta

Drew, well done alliteration, , Stopping by with a nice, sweet Welcome to Poetry Soup. I will find much delight, in reading and in time become familiar with your way of writing. But, for the mean time, I will greet you with the same smile, other poets passed when I first join the soup 4 years ago. I wish you the best when it comes to your poems. I hope you get to meet all the nice poets around here. Starting with me. SKAT :-) Please drop a hello and tell me a little about yourself if you like. I would like to be your newest poetry soup "FRIEND". Hugs* SKAT
