Banana

I’m feeling inconsolable

I’m feeling all alone—

I’m feeling pain and sadness worse

than I have ever known—

For my whole life I’ve been beside

My lovely family.

All long and slim and yellow. Yes,

We lived in harmony.

And then, one sunny afternoon,

They plucked us from our height!

But we were still together and

So we were still alright.

And then they boxed and freighted us

And put us in a store!

But still we were together so

We’d be alright for sure.

And then a lady bagged us up

And put us in her car!

But I still felt okay because

My parents were not far.

And then the old hag took my Dad

She ripped him from the bunch…

And I can hardly bear to say…

She ate my Dad for lunch.
