Flying Bananas to Europe

This is a song…

or a poem,

or something that formed in my head when the title was said in a very boring meeting.

I really need a shorter leash for my brain

I’ve driven through the countryside, took trains from coast to coast,

But there’s just one way to travel that I find I like the most…

Flying Bananas to Europe

The view of the sea is a beaut.

Flying Bananas to Europe

From my trans-oceanic-al fruit.

Took cruises to Alaska and way down to Kokomo,

Spent my whole vacation seasick so next time I want to go….

Flying Bananas to Europe

To London or Paris or Rome

Flying Bananas to Europe

Daylight come, me no wanna go home.

Bikes are fraught with danger from a crash or just a swipe.

I’ll stick to airborne vessels that are yellow, sweet and ripe.

Flying Bananas to Europe

Far safer I have a strong hunch

Flying Bananas to Europe

The transport that I love a bunch

Been stranded for so long now, so I’ll ask you nicely, please.

I‘ll cook your fav’rite dinner, you bring THOSE great brownies

And we’ll go…

Flying Bananas to Europe

Right after we finish our meal.

Flying Bananas to Europe

The pastime that has great appeal.
