Stacked in Kline, sit bananas plentiful with every meal,
Some green-yellow and others turned freckled-brown,
Our precious portable snack by virtue of their peel,
Of form akin to either a smile or a frown.
Stuffing them within our backpacks, we rush onward.
We complain at their ubiquity all whilst cherishing
The convenient sustenance they may afford
On the occasion we miss breakfast the next morning.
Bananas for breakfast, for lunch, for a snack,
Bananas gone mushy, forgot, and split open,
Opportune to satisfy a stomach’s momentary lack
But lacking in long term, necessitous nutrition.
Apples sit there too, you know,
Yet they are seldom mentioned in a manner so.
