SONNET XXXV - BANANAS

Bananas are a funny fruit indeed
They're yellow and they're shaped like half a wheel.
But there's advice about them that you need:
Be careful! Don't go slipping on the peel!
So many ankles broken! Arms all bent!
Banana peels have caused so much dismay!
But though the fall may give my bum a dent,
they're yummy and I'll eat them anyway!
Perhaps the lesson is to throw them out.
The peel, I mean. Don't drop it in the hall.
That littering is bad there is no doubt,
Especially when a peel might make you fall.
  Oh God! My spinal cord! It needs repairs!
  Some joker dropped a peel on the stairs!
