The Two Best Banana Friends

In a bowl, a fruity hue, Apples red and berries blue, Oranges plump, a sunny sight, Bathed in kitchen window light.

Two bananas, yellow bright, Peeking out with all their might, Banana One, so smooth and grand, Banana Two, close at hand.

"Oh, dear," sighed One, a worried frown, "What if someone peels us down?" Two shivered, "Such a scary thought! We’d rather never be caught!"

They clung together, peel to peel, A secret pact, a friendship real. They whispered plans, in hushed banana tones, To hide their ripeness, under leafy cones.

They swayed and swayed, as days flew past, Hoping their delicious fate wouldn't last. They helped each other, stay upright and tall, Ready to catch if one should fall.

Then little Lily, with eyes so wide, Reached for the bowl, her happy stride. She looked them over, chose an apple red, Leaving bananas, tucked safe in their bed.

The bananas cheered, a silent glee, "We're safe!" cried One, "You and me!" They knew, from then, their bond so true, Two best banana friends, forever new.
