Bananas over Bananas



   Bananas over Bananas

   Clark Steven Lupton

   2002



  Bananas are good

  Bananas are fine

  Bananas are the main ingredient

  That makes up white wine



  Kids like their color

  Monkeys like their shape

  Old people like the fiber

  That helps the bowels escape



  Eat the banana fruit

  Eat the banana bread

  Eat bananas everyday

  That's what Jesus said



  Yes He said they're good for you

  He said they are blessed

  You can even exercise after eating bananas

  Without having to digest



  I eat bananas throughout the day

  I dream of them in my sleep

  I always buy bananas

  Because they're really cheap



  Bananas are healthy

  They are a convenient snack

  They have many vitamins

  That expensive chocolates lack



  Bananas are for endurance exercise

  Because they're nature made

  They're loaded with Potassium

  And cheaper than Gatorade



  I believe in bananas

  And I don't mean to be rude

  When I say that bananas

  Are the god**** perfect food



  And if you may not like them

  And you are not really fit

  You're guaranteed to enjoy one

  In a gigantic Banana Split!


Author's Notes/Comments: 

This poem is 95% true! I first thought of the title and then the rhymes followed. But alas, things have changed for me since then and I was tested for slightly high blood sugar and the doctor told me to cut down to 3 bananas a day. Not having all the bananas I like is making me go bananas! :o)

Unca Steve!!!! Absolutely hilarious poem!!!!! It made me rethink about my hatred of bananas (which I've been eating practically ever since I was first able to ingest solid food). Hehehe. Very very funny. I like...definitely! =D
