Caren Krutsinger Poet Light Verse

If I Could Splice Two Trees Together

If I were a horticulturalist like Sam Van Aken
I would splice a banana tree with a strawberry tree.
Strawberries are not tree-grown? 
Okay.
Then I would splice a banana tree with a peanut tree.
If I could find a butter cow from the Iowa State Fair
I would set it under this new bana-peanut-a tree
For there is nothing better than a peanut butter and banana
sandwich 
And I eat butter on everything
I did not know that about peanuts.
I would splice a banana tree with a pistachio tree
over my butter cow.

M. L. Kiser May 30, 2019 at 5:03 PM A chocolate, peanut butter and banana sandwich might be better. Let me know and I'll buy one. Caren Krutsinger June 1, 2019 at 4:45 AM It is pretty tasty. I can tell you from experience. But add some whipped cream too.

David Mchattie May 27, 2019 at 8:27 PM You win the 'mad hatter' poem of the day contest my always interesting friend. Have a great day. Caren Krutsinger May 27, 2019 at 8:50 PM Thank you David. I am in a pretty foul mood today; having suffered with shingles or staph infection since Wednesday. I already have taken off work tomorrow morning. It is excruciatingly painful whatever it is, so I am truly MAD.
