Let's Go Coconuts

Some people flip out.
Do they end up like a pancake?
Do they topple onto their head?
Some people have breakdowns.
Do they wake up needing fixing
in some asylum’s bed?.

Some people just go crazy,
but they “go” in different ways.
They might go nuts or go bananas.
Are they in a monkey phase?

I’ve heard of going ape,
so it makes sense to say
to go nuts or bananas,
apes might eat those foods all day!

I’ve heard that apes and monkeys
eat coconuts as well.
They only have to find a rock
and break through the hard shell.

I say let’s go coconuts.
First rocks we’ll need to find
to crack those babies open.
Then we can feel free to lose our mind!

Love your fun poem Andrea :-) Interestingly enough I just bought a small coconut the other day. Always a nice treat to eat and drink fresh coconut water. Hugs Anne :-)
