Una Sinfonia para Bananas

1. Banana Dance

When banana chips

Pass my lips

I do a little dance

Good and yummy

In my tummy

Around the room I prance

But when I’m done

There will be none

Sorry, you’ve missed your chance

I'll take a beer instead

2.  Second Banana

You started in a tree

Free in the leaves and air

There, growing and living

Giving food to the spunky

Monkey, sating its thirst.

First the color of green

Seen in the leaves and grass

Class of your own, then

When you mellow,

Yellow. The typical color

Duller than the sun, but still.

Will you be split and ate,

Great with ice cream?

Dream of mashed and

Bland in bread. Or cut

But leave to dry

Try plain and sweet

Beat by none of the above

Love to eat, banana chips.

Put your hands in the air like you just don't care

3.  Dream fruit

The aroma of

Musa acuminata

Pervades my senses

The fragrant flesh with its

White seedless pulp and

Amber gold skin.

Oh ye gods! Food for you all

In this delectable fruit!

Tongue and mouth in ecstasy

Over this ethereal essence.

The name, a sacred whisper

Banana

Look into my eyes and give me a banana
