Bananas

The product of insomnia. For Christ's sake, don't ask. Warning: The following poem was written in a British accent. This is integral to the rhyme. For more information on a British accent, rent Notting Hill. It's awful, but you'll get the idea.

Once upon a time, there lived two animate bananas.
They lived on a farm, despite not actually being farmers.
It was an odd placement for a farm, found on the coast of Botswana.
Yes, I know that doesn't make sense, but would you prefer they wore pyjamas?

 

They had a good taste in music, and were fond of Nirvana.
One day, out for a stroll, they bumped into a llama.
The llama spoke you see, though his words were mainly slander.
He said "Nirvana suck!" - Articulate for a llama.

 

Unfortunately you see, the speaking llama was no charmer.
And since the bananas never paid taxes, they had pretty bad karma.
In a fit of unseen rage, the llama ate the first banana.
The second banana fled, but was kicked by the llama.

 

Llama's being powerful, the banana flew way past Ghana.
He continued in flight, and landed in the Bahamas.
After making a pit-stop of course, in the canal de Panama.
Now bananas aren't exactly aerodynamic, but this was one powerful llama.

 

Meanwhile in Botswana, they arrested the llama.
He was sentenced as a war criminal, for eating the first banana.
He was tried and convicted,
By the great Dolly-Llama,
The new President Obama,
And lastly Marlin Brando's Godfather.

 

The llama was sent down, for crimes against bananas.
Not forgetting of course, his slander of Nirvana.

 

But back to the second banana, living the sweet life in the Bahamas.
He payed off his taxes, and vastly improved his karma.
Every Sunday he strikes, at his local Bowlarama.
And for all intents and purposes, he lived happily ever after.

Author's Note

Yes, I am aware Botswana has no coast. But when you're lying in bed at 4AM and you suddenly think "Hey, Banana and Llama, they kind of rhyme..." Well, anything's possible.

This ain't my style, so don't go expecting more. Just a bit of fun, I suppose.

That was sooo you :] This whole banana outlaw thing is so absurd and that's what is so great about it! I loved seeing this lighter humor from you as opposed to the pessimistic sarcasm of Marty (which is of course amazing). Don't the best ideas come at the most ridiculous hour?

Awesome work Owl :]
