Shirley Hawkins Poet Rhyme

Going Bananas

I grapple with an apple.
As they are hard to bite
A pear I can manage
If the pear is ripe
I reach for a peach
The juice makes me dribble
I don't eat ugli fruit
This statement's trivial
Bananas are soft
As soft as can be
It looks like the banana
Is the fruit for me

Rico Leffanta July 23, 2021 at 12:12 PM Many women choose bananas, green or yellow . . . .. Shirley Hawkins July 27, 2021 at 6:37 PM I choose yellow ones because they are ripe and easier to eat. (my teeth appreciate it too).
