Banana Peel: A Funny Poem Celebrating the Classic Slip

There once was a banana named Peel,

Who was always quite slippery and slippery as eel.

He would slip and slide,

On the kitchen floor inside,

Making everyone's life quite an ordeal.

He would hang in the bunch all day,

Being yellow and ripe in every way,

But as soon as someone would try,

To peel him and take a bite,

He would slip right out of their hand and play.

He thought it was quite a hoot,

To be slippery underfoot,

But little did he know,

That his days were numbered, low,

As soon as he was spotted, he was up for the boot.

So if you ever see a banana being slippery,

Just remember Peel, the slippery fellow,

And be careful, or you might just slip,

And land on your back with a flip,

And have a good laugh on the way to the mellow.
