Ode to the banana

I write an ode to you
A sweet yellow fruit
That in love to chew,
Swallow and digest

An ode to your taste
and health benefits
For you shall not go to waste
Not in my home

Oh! An ode to your peel
That keeps you safe
As if to seal
Your goodness from me

And finally and ode
To buying you from the store
Or picking you fresh off a tree
And bringing you to my humble abode
And eating you
For happy little me

  3. Are you a green-ish banana person or one who likes the brown and mottled ones? What are all the ways you prepare it? On top of cereal? Do you make bread with it? An ode has a place for all those actions and behaviors and quirks :)
