Too Much Fiber In the Diet

I never knew that most monkeys will swoon
To eat bananas in a real saloon --
  They'll snarf down bunches
  After monster lunches --
Then vomit up the peels in the spittoon

I'm glad you enjoyed this, but I hope the next limerick just makes you EVEN MORE cheerful!! Best wishes, Elaine. ~ Gershon

Hello Gershon … I was told of something similar this morning. A large aviary was moved and their dog cleaned the floor up of everything, including seed, bird droppings, shell grit, everything; and some time later inside the house, missed the spittoon every time - loved your limerick but winced a mite - Lindsay

As for me, I never let a dog try a spittoon. Must be their semicircular canals or something in their ears, but their aim is way off. LOL!! Thanks, Lindsay! :) gw

So Cute. I love bananas, fresh, protein shakes, ice cream, baked bread but please no peels. Peels too much fiber......

October 8, 2019 at 3:32 PM

That fiber will get us every time! LOL. Thank you so much for such a nice comment, Paula! Cheers, Gershon

Never been in a real saloon. Maybe that's why I don't get the punch line, but that was fun... Hmm, do they wrap bananas in plastic in saloons?

LOL: I don't know of any saloons in the USA where they serve bananas... perhaps in Madagascar?!… Smiles, Gershon

As long as all those bananas didn't 'grate!' Thank you so much, Kim! Cheers, Gershon
