Banana Waits To Die

BANANA WAITS TO DIE

 

I’m one banana lying prone

I got forgot.  I’m all alone

 

How did this happen? Why just me?

I started life with twenty three

 

All alone I lie and wait

What will be my final fate?

 

Why do I ask, I really know

I saw it happen to Old Joe

 

The top banana in my bunch

Selected for a sailor’s lunch

 

On the ship from Panama

“OH MY GOD,” screamed Grandmamma

 

“The sailor just set Joey down!”

The thought of it just makes me frown

 

Sitting in the hot sun light

A few days passed he died of blight

 

Once brightly yellow then to black

Once stiff and hardy then to slack

 

His innards oozed, the sight was sad

It made my bunch so very mad

 

Now it’s me here all alone

One banana with no phone

 

I feel as if up in the sky

There is one really creepy eye

 

Looking down upon me here

This is what I really fear

 

I know it gets some freaky joy

It watches me as if a toy

 

I also feel the eye is pissed

Because it’s me that someone missed

 

Someone laid me here to take

“Who the fuck made this mistake?”

 

I know that’s what the eye would say

Someone surely has to pay

 

Who will clean my gooey mess?

That’s the sky eye’s greatest stress

 

Hey sky eye, I know you are there

Count your blessing I’m not a pear

 

All other fruits are such a bore

Your Facebook friends would surely snore

 

Share a picture everyday

Two or Three, see what they say

 

Over time I to will die

Right before your creepy eye

 

 I’m sure that you will soon return

And then beware I’ll take my turn

 

For all who watch bananas die

Through your creepy secret eye

 

In your nose you’ll smell my essence

In your heart you’ll feel my presence

Agnes Martin, Artist? That is such BULLSHIT!

I didn't have any intent to blog today.  Then I saw the GOOGLE doodle for today, a set of vertical colored stripes.  Since I use several computers, but only one do I stay logged in on my Google account I figured the other computers were just not showing the image correctly.  This seems to have been the case in the past when these Google doodles have animation.  I went to my computer logged into Google, but no movement when I moved my mouse over the image.  So I clicked on the image.   This led me to all the associated links and discussions of what this doodle was celebrating Agnes Martin. This is some of the first text I read: Agnes Bernice Martin was a Canadian-American abstract painter, often referred to as a minimalist; Martin considered herself an abstract expressionist. She was awarded a National Medal of Arts from the National Endowment for the Arts in 1998" from Wikipedia.  I continued to look at more images.  It seems all this women painted was lines and stripes, verti

Recycling - Isn't Everything Able To Be Recycled?

worm, worm hole, time travel, fruits, apple sauce, Boon, cartoons, cartoonist for hire, one guy drawing,doodles Recycling is something I do and believe in.   We have so much to recycle that we had to upgrade from the tiny bin provided by the garbage company to a full blown roll away garbage can.  I think I can do more. I pay attention to what I'm throwing away and began to notice just about everything I put in the trash could be recycled.  How is that? Well, you can recycle paper, glass, metal, and plastic, so think about it, other than food, what isn't made of one of those four things.  Yea I know there are some specific things recycling doesn't want, which baffles me if it isn't good enough to recycle why the hell do we want it buried in a land fill, that's a topic for another day, but in general most everyday things are one of those four materials.  So why don't I just recycle everything?  Mainly it is because I keep my small recycling bin outside my back kit

Battle of Inner Personalities - Have My Failures Lead to My Success?

 I've got a real strong creative urge going on the last few days.  Which should be a blessing but it is in complete conflict with my stern, task master of practicality...work needs to be done to make money.  Oh, the money thing again.  Yea, the money thing and the creative thing are battling it out.  I'm completely out of sync right now.  Here I am typing away while just off my right shoulder sits my laptop suspended in mid-task, waiting for me to complete something more directly related to financial survival.  All I want to do is paint something, create something.  Anything, I don't care. I used to dream of wealth, and a flamboyant life style I've seen in movies and actually participated in on occasion as being the norm in my life.  But now I can't imagine what it would be like to live that way, how weird it seems, how alien.  I might be caught saying or thinking that things just didn't work out.  I had this thought today that from other's perspective my li
