Daily Writing: Write a Poem About Bananas

Sometimes you cruise through life with blinders on Completely unawares of those damned slippery bananas At every turn and corner they lurk like a lion on the savanna and you, in this scenario; a gazelle Hopping and skipping along Sipping your Starbucks, playing among us on your phone And that not so benevolent banana Sees right through you It whimsically pierces your deepest depths Every secret in your heart It knows.. IT KNOWS. And just when you least expect it You'll find yourself staring up at the sky Wondering what could have possibly upturned your life so The truth is That banana had your ticket punched Since at least that time you did that one thing you never speak about You're kind of lucky it took this long Honestly. So remember, all your deeds; good and bad Are carefully scrutinized by your local supermarket banana section They have means, and departments for this kind of thing So mind your manners, and try to avoid Encounters with those oh so benevolent creatures that we so nonchalantly like to call The banana.
