Jan Allison Poet Rhyme

Hellllpppppppp I'Ve Lost My Banana

Went to get my banana as I headed for the door
It had been on the table that much I know for sure
Last night I put it ready to take with me to work
Now it has gone AWOL and I feel such a berk

I’d gone into the kitchen I was busy multitasking
Picked up my banana, but where is it now I’m asking
Had been to brush my teeth its something I always do
But it isn’t in the bathroom what am I going to do

I’ve checked the kitchen cupboard and underneath my chair
The microwave and fridge – oh damn it isn’t there
Got into my car and listened to ‘The Pearl Fishers’
Maybe my poor banana is somewhere lurking in a fissure

Now I’m back at home and of bananas I do dream
The little yellow fiend it still cannot be seen
I’m starting to worry now that I am turning mad
And I’m also pretty hungry that really is so sad

I will continue in my quest to find the missing fruit
Cos this pain in my tummy is turning quite acute
If I can’t locate it today I may get quite depressed
I need to find that banana and put my mind at rest

James Fraser September 8, 2014 at 4:31 PM Really really clever Jan, and all about a banana.

Robin Davis June 21, 2014 at 5:35 PM Jan This is so clever and witty. A fun write that puts a smile on the readers face and a laugh in their heart. Thank you for the awesome comment on my Lost For Words poem. Jan Allison June 21, 2014 at 6:01 PM Thanks for dropping by Robin. You Need to read Darren Watson's 'Fun Games' poem and my follow up 'fun and games with my banana' - Darren is VERY naughty (but he blames me for this) but I love writing with him so I do forgive him :-) Hugs as ever Jan xxx

Roy Jerden May 23, 2014 at 1:14 PM Yes, we have no bananas, we have no bananas today! Pearl fishing? Hmmm... That can be fun, too. Jan Allison May 23, 2014 at 3:03 PM The Pearl fishers by Bizet is one of my favourite duets Roy I get shivers down the spine when I hear it I have 2 versions but prefer the Pavorotti version. If you read on you will find my banana has been found - read fun and games with my banana and Darren Watson! Hugs Jan xxxx

Robert Pettit May 16, 2014 at 1:22 AM You can get more at the store for about 59 cents a pound or less. In Great Britain, that would be about 35 pence for 400 grams. Impressive write.
