Nanas

You’d have to be bananas

Not to like bananas

They’re surely nature’s almost perfect fruit

Potassium and Vitamins

A, B6 and C

Are all wrapped up inside their yellow suits

Banana bread, banana chips,

They’re versatile as well;

A banana a day

Keeps the apples away

Although apples are quite nice too.

But some, I’ve heard

Are undeterred

Yet, to me, it doesn’t seem right

5 portions a day

The non banana way,

And still they sleep at night

But although the banana is dominant

And walks tall in the world of fruit

There’s mangos Florentines pomegranates

Guava cherries kiwis plums

Pineapples peaches, so much choice

And some seem oddly cute

But I’d still rather have a banana
