The Last Banana

Accidental Poet

 

Hanging around on the stand

A stock of bananas slowly ripens

Green turns to yellow

As the appeal surely heightens

 

Grown together from the tree

Like brothers of fruit

Until pulled apart

And lose their yellow suit

 

It stands to reason

They will all go their separate ways

Consumed by the hungry

Their yellow suit thrown away

 

And who shall be the last

The last one to go

Upon leaving with long last looks

Their brotherly love that shows

 

One by one

All his friends disappear

Unable to hang by himself

On the countertop with a lonely tear

 

He decides he’ll go out with a bang

Donning his bandit bandana

Going down in history as

The Last Banana
