The Banana Zeal

There once was a banana with zeal
Who loved to show off with great appeal
With a peel on the ground
It slipped, oh how it found
A rib breaking, a painful ordeal

It has happened to me. Once I slipped on a banana peel and fell flat. Fortunately it was in my younger days when bones were not brittle.... ! Great limerick dear friend !

Ouch, haha this is an excellent limerick. And the cadence is brilliant, and so profound, i was singing these words as i read this limerick. A banana with zeal, who loved to show off with great appeal. Those rhymes are so creative and excellent for this limerick. Loved reading this hearty one
