WHAT ABOUT A BANANA

WHAT ABOUT A BANANA





I saw a man with a banana
Explain the easy way to peel.
He learned it from watching a monkey,
Now, is that not unreal?

You tell me, is a monkey
Smarter than a man?
Before you answer
Do not take a stand.

A monkey lives on bananas,
While you eat one for pleasure.
When it comes to peeling bananas,
You do not come up to measure.

He explained how a banana grew.
They grow on a stalk upside down.
The tendency is to peel at the stalk end
Starting often brings a frown.

The steam is the bottom,
And a monkey starts at the other end.
It is amazing what a monkey can teach,
It makes you want to grin.

If you want to be smart as a monkey,
Here is what you can do.
Learn to peel a banana from the top,
It won't make a monkey out of you.
