downtown
sitting outside on a patio for a meal
on a warm autumn night
it began with me asking
does anyone else see bananas coming this way?
that must have opened the portal
bananas of all kinds began to show up
first, the sweet bananas appeared
it was a university pub crawl
to kick off the year and bonding event
next
the hustling bunch of bananas
the flying abbey road bananas
the hawaiian bananas
the meet up and find your bunch bananas
the girl power autographed bananas
the romantic date night on the town bananas
bunches of bananas were everywhere
all in good spirits
the town was swarming with ’em
after a while
the bananas slowed their pace
leaving in our car
we saw
the slipping into a car for a safe ride home bananas
carry on.

There is a lot to be said for engaging in ‘harmless fun’, and they seemed to be having a great time.
Best wishes, Pete.

Bananas are very healthy and also very useful in many practical ways; I use banana juice to fuel my spacecraft, Itmims, (Ivor’s Time Machine In Micro Space)

That was a fun post and those youngsters in banana costumes are a lot of fun. I went bananas for this post. BTW there is something funny with your comment edit box that started a few days ago. The thumbnail image of the commentor (in my case a little picture of me getting a hug from a Leonberger dog) is covering part of the comment box so that you cannot see what you are typing. A typo would be undetected by the commentor. That is definitely a bug. I am thinking perhaps ask a Happiness Engineer about it.

it’s been happening on both sides on wp recently, and myself included. what i’ve done is to clink on the photo/icon and it leads to a sign in thing and i just have to click on that to get back to commenting. i’m going to say it’s definitely a WP bug, no one should have to do all that just to comment -sorry
