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.
