Best Bananas Poems
Feeling lethargic,
Sue went on
a banana diet,
and started to feel
more energetic and alive,
walking past the
local playground,
she was going
to keep walking,
when she quickly
changed her mind...
Swinging round and round,
flipping upside down,
she couldn't believe
the bananas gave her
so much stamina,
one last go round,
she dismounted
landing perfectly
on the ground,
just like an
Olympic champion!
They say we evolved from apes,
but an ape would never destroy its own environment;
or be unwilling to share ---
having an endless amount of anything,
or have itself as its own worst enemy ---
Is this what they call standing upright?

Bananas
Here come the sailors of the Seventh Fleet
With their bananas ripe, ready to eat
The ladies, they like them firm
Musty one’s make them squirm
Why can’t liberty always be so sweet!
Limes
They’re green and round not yellow and curvy
Bruised or mushed never—topsy turvy!
Peeled back skin often slimy
Best citrus fresh and limey
Sailor lime-juicer’s sucked to cure scurvy
In wait for spring, snow is falling
Escape to the idyllic islands of Bahamas
Create your own adventure, the palette is ready
Framed by a gorgeous, mesmerizing blue sea
Eating a banana can lighten your mood
Soft and lovely coral sand, a pink sunset
Get away from the cold and explore new exotic locations
Many hidden gem to discover, just ask Christopher Columbus

A time is reached in life if one remains
Alive to tell the tale: those certain things
He once performed routinely, ascertains
The notion, habits must desist which brings
About awareness: His mortality.
Employment ends; Retirement is here.
The monthly saving wanes. Frugality
submits to lavish tastes. The thirty year
Installment loan is paid. But now he’s glum.
He now forbears purchasing bananas
That are unripe for fear his death may come
before they ripen. Shakespeariana
Unfolding: Final act that yields a frown:
The man’s demise, they ring the curtain down.

I got myself a suntanna.
Down at the local beach.
While watching three Santas.
In the Christmas Parade.
It was a nice Sun-shiny day.
In Southern Cal.Near LA..
But the only thing I wanted?
Was a beautiful gal!
While going bananas!
Get It?
Sun-Tanna!
While I witness three Santas..
Giving Christmas gifts.
Around Christmas time.
In the Christmas Parade.
Sun-Tannas.Three Santas.
A beautiful gal..
While going bananas!
Near LA..

Bananas are
As a rule
Fun to have around
All yellow and soft
And curvy
So delicious when they're peeled
They'll ride around with you
All day wherever you go
As a rule
Without complaining
Apart from the odd occasion
When the journey's been a little long
They’ll hint with their own particular perfume
At the end of a long day
You lay the banana
Face up
On the pillow next to you
It smiles
Knowingly
Should you fall asleep
It will still be there
In the morning
Smiling
Inviting
Tempting
A quick snack before breakfast
“P recise Aurora
A sea of fertility
S haring the lunar cow flown
S ince God only knows
U nknown the core could be cheese"
S urmised the Man in the moon
"P resently Luna
A sea of storms, clouds, showers
S haring that has become known
S upreme only knows
U nbeknown how much gold there be"

Bunches of baby bananas
bright, beautiful
beloved bitty bites.

I found monkey behind the bush throwing up
He must have had one too many bananas
He ended up scaring the raccoon out of me
As i shivered i must have had too much wine
Being not much inclined to strong stuff...
I curled in bed as angels swam in and out
Bananas be bruisin'
And I dunno why.
Bananas be bruisin'
They be covered in flies
Bananas used to be pretty cool,
They used to be yellow and stuff.
Bananas used to be pretty cool,
Now they just shriveled, the peel
Rough
They brown, they yucky,
They ain't yellow like a ducky.
They sticky, they black,
Like a gangsta
" Milk & Bananas "
Hmmmmmmm~ Thought Tea ??
Does this blend require lemon a'plenty?
Or shall it find lime more then amenable?
Shall such cup as is drunk from thus be dainty?
Or should we drink from whichever we find tenable?
Har! Then say so meownself does now!
Preferences bein' whot whot's they are~
Meself should find more goodly some cow~
Nay! Nay! Now not whot's bellied to some bar!
Nor could be called the ear of some sow!
'Tis white & does float bananas so well~
Yet some oft sink 'gainst bottom o'bowl~
Circles do float & crunch fer a'while~
Me parrot so finds ways to beguile!
Must be fast so says me~
'Twere me breakfast 'twould be all a'done~
Nope do it seem whot's wagered or won~
Me damn bird 'as flown now flat free!
Into that bowl a great then kersplash!
Milk & bananas all over black beak~
'Tis now meownself 'as been fox'd thus well~
Whot mess to clean shall require a week!
Ok Ok like some fat cat then purred~~
Pour & hover & wave off damn bird~
Save me some you feath'ry thief~
Lest ye be marooned on yon lonely reef!
Ne'er e'er win this battle shall I~
'Gainst such creature of silvery sky~
SeaWolf
On the banana I shall e'er expound
I can consume bananas by the pound
When on a huge eating spree
My spouse quickly reminds me
My knuckles are starting to drag the ground

Put the jelly or the jam
On the peanut butter san
With bananas or fluff
I can’t get enough
Just put it in my hand
That peanut butter san
Some ripe berries sliced
Are oh so nice
Put the jelly or the jam
On the peanut butter san
With bananas or fluff
I can’t get enough
Apricot or grape
Those jellies are great
Where’s my spreader
Don’t need more contenders
Put the jelly or the jam
On the peanut butter san
With bananas or fluff
I can’t get enough
How about a touch
Of peanut butter crunch
That’s what I want
Today for lunch
Put the jelly or the jam
On the peanut butter san
With bananas or fluff
I can’t get enough
Peanut butter, I love you!*
I will always love you
I told you that before though, right?
You are soooo nice...
*spoken from here to end
