a quarter sliced off
is not good enough a protection
used to be an apple a day
to keep the doctor away
not any more that holds sway
now that many doctors
have all gone bananas!
yes, bananas!
vitamin B6 laden
to boost the immune system
a scramble to stock up
the answer to the corona virus
in the absence of a potent serum
bananas to exert confidence
face masks not enough protection
mindful of a new-found insistence
a banana a day
to keep the pesky corona virus away
Fireblossom's at Sunday Muse #99
I like the movement between apples, health, craziness, and bananas!
ReplyDeleteBananas, hmmm? *side-eyes a stash of frozen bananas*
ReplyDeleteThis is wonderful! Going bananas ~~ yep.
ReplyDeleteThe world is going bananas indeed!
ReplyDeleteI wish it were just an apple a day! Going bananas for sure, I think many have temporary lost their minds.
ReplyDeleteWow, easy toe see what's on everyone's mind, even for a poetry challenge! Happy weekend, Hank. :-)
ReplyDeleteYes an apple a day can't keep the doctor away and the world has gone bananas! Timely, clever, and wonderful writing Hank! Thanks for joining us for the 99th Muse!
ReplyDeleteMaybe an apple AND a banana would work? Stay well, Hank.
ReplyDeletehaha maybe it is a combo of the two. Bananas would go like Toilet paper if it were true.
ReplyDeleteGood thing we have bananas right now!
ReplyDeleteI'm going out for bananas.
ReplyDeleteI always try to have bananas in the house. Love this, Hank!
ReplyDeleteBananas have long been a staple at our house. Good heavens, I hope bananas don't become in short supply! At least the bonkers people who are stockpiling toilet paper can't stockpile bananas. They'd spoil! It does seem common sense flew out the window when corona virus flew in, doesn't it?
