I'm Sorry I Asked

What do I suggest?

I suggest a baboon
on a boring afternoon, 
or...a stale banana!

I feel 
a banana peel
and a red bandana
on a wide savana
has a certain appeal.

In, a chimpanzee can stride,
brimming, understandably, with pride.
The chimp and peel can interact,
if the scene is handled with finesse and tact.

I think that would be best.
That's what I suggest.
