Best Banana Poems
Banana Split
A banana split can be a work of art.
With the fruit cut lengthwise in half is where we start.
Three scoops of our favorite ice cream go on top.
Whatever flavor, use the cream of the crop.
On each scoop go toppings of pineapple, chocolate, and strawberry.
Above that...

Banana SplitSplit my banana and stuff it with cream
top with tantalizing treats to extreme
nuts and silky sweetened balls
gooey toppings form seawalls
nothing left out of a lover's wet dream...

Banana Republic Appeal
Sunshine smile,
it Arctic enamel glows
Crescent grin tropical —
Antarctica guile
A bright yellow corona skin
is so cold-fusion tan Chernobyl
As Dictator icy wind snow blow,
Democracy curvature bend
Creamy sweet coin promises
of a silky, tubular tongue
Hanging from a lip bung,
monkey climbers can’t resist
Swing blade lo Banana Republic Appeal,...

Fruit factions were ready to shout.
Banana sought peace,
But his...

The Banana ZealThere 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...

Banana Nut Bread MusingsBanana-nut bread
Sliced
Carried in the hand
All through the house
Crumbs
Dropped along the way
I wonder how long a mouse
Could survive on the crumbs
You would think
Slice, place on a plate
Get a fork
Sit down, eat and enjoy
But no
Carry it in the hands
All through the house
Is the best way...

she ate her banana under the tree shade.
She ate her...

I Am the Banana TreeI AM THE BANANA TREE
I am the banana tree
That dwells where rivers meet ;
I am the banana tree
That dwells where sun lives;
On fertility I tower ; believe,
Your party hour has come
You shall now eat my fruits,
As these buds you see now
Shall wither not till fruits...

But this is what I made instead.
A gallon of Sweet Tea.
A bowl of Green Pea's.
Turkey Club on whole wheat followed by Smoked Meat.
Corn on the Cob along with Broccoli Raab.
Chicken Wings. Shoe...

Dragons Banana BreadBanana Bread Yum!
Spring was in the air sooo thick that you could cut it with a knife!
As to the Laundromat I went with Dragon at my always, dutiful side.
The sun was shining with all its love, as the birdies sang their songs.
I couldn’t help, but...

Banana Cream PieBanana Cream Pie I could eat by the barrel
My waistline would suffer, it's a losing battle
I could eat like a fly
Forego all that pie
And still I'd resemble some hefty beef cattle

Banana Bread For BreakfastHe mows the lawn,
doesn't every man?
He mops the kitchen,
a gift of great value.
He shells pecans,
saves the pith for me.
He roasts peanuts;
we love peanuts!
He plants blackberries,
brings them in a bucket.
He builds bird houses,
cooks his own suet cakes.
He picks wildflowers,
shows me where they grow.
He makes up our...

Banana Split HeavenBanana Split Heaven
I'm in Banana Split Heaven, the ice cream parlor of my dreams,
Choosing extra toppings and three flavors of sweet ice cream.
A foundation of ripe bananas, served the purpose of a bed,
For my decadent dessert, topped with cherries of bright red.
I licked my lips...
