Oh luscious golden berry
You give so much to so many
You’re the snack we trust
When we leave home in a rush
You don’t require containers or baggies
You even add creaminess to smoothies
But you’re not just there for texture or flavor
You also do our bodies a favor
You give us fiber and potassium
Even vitamins C and B6, before you’re done
Thank you so much for all that you do
Beautiful banana, we love you!
Thank you for reading! This poem was written in response to a challenge by Rick Henry in the wonderfully supportive Vocal + Assist Facebook group.

I love it. Such a creative tribute to the banana. I like how you've dubbed it the "golden berry."
