Love in Yellow I love bananas. I wish we had some bananas. I love to write the word bananas. I think about bananas, and… sometimes. I go a little bananas. I have a banana bed, which is bright yellow. I have house shoes that fit the shape. My friends laugh sometimes, and think I am simply a “fruit”. When I go to parties… I am always easy to find… Bright, happy and yellow! Yet, I know somewhere… out there…, there is a split for me… A place that will accept my quirks, as they are not. How glorious the day, the apple comes my way, the speckled strawberry? the blue fruit to make a cake? that recognizes, true love. They will be the focus of my eye, the taste to my buds, and the jewel in my Waldorf salad. I will strive to make them ever aware, of just how important they are, exactly as they are… to me…

Heh, your verse reminded me a funny song by Frank Silver: "We've string beans, and onions, cabbageses, and scallions, and all sorts of fruit and say we have an old fashioned to-mah-to, a Long Island po-tah-to, but yes, we have no bananas. We have no bananas today". Fortunately, you've got them, Ann, and my happy smiles too)

Hehe... I love fruit salad and old songs too. Sometimes on "bad" days, I go to the fruit stand, as it is so full of bright color. It is like Christmas in the middle of summer. Hugs. Ann

Yellow stands for Sunsine and warmth of the the Sunlight. Color sometimes fits to personality ...
