BANANA
Frank died last night from potassium overdose, evidently his wife had been slipping it into his food. It wasn't surprising considering that it was Bloody Sunday; network televisions most gruesome night, which I'm sure is meet to prepare viewers for the next day. Monday. The message: going to work isn't so bad after all, at least you are still in possession of your bowels and appendages. Back to Frank; when confronted with his medical charts he was shocked at the extensive paperwork which was encased in a nifty official looking metal folder thingy which charted the rising levels of potassium in his bloodstream, as he had GIVEN UP BANANAS a few weeks earlier. With my infallible powers of deductive reasoning I ascertained that the bananas were in fact part of the potassium problem. But but, I love bananas! Could it be true!? Was I poisoning myself with my daily intake of bananas and grapenuts (with a few toasted pecan pieces on top?) And besides all that, how can potassium kill you, it's for leg cramps. Yes. I was confused. And I still have no idea about the potassium thing however this got me to thinking about exactly why I love bananas so much. O the tropical fruit of paradise. :) Thus my ode to the humble, unassuming banana. (in extremely free verse, almost like an essay really.)
Bananas, I love them. Firstly they have a spendid texture which encompasses the entire range from firm to squishy but never crunchy. They have a lovely favor, which tastes very much like hm... a mildly sweet fruit. :) I have a gift for descriptions. Bananas are an integral part of the smoothie adding a wonderful base which supplements the more vibrant flavors. It also in an excellent thickener. Frozen bananas are a summertime favorite (I just crushed a small, defenseless ant who wanted a bite of my banana) as is banana bread and the banana pudding for sale at Rudy's. However the pure, unadulterated banana reigns supreme. It has ranked #1 amongst the Chimps and their close cousins for the past millions and billions of years, an accomplishment that no other fruit can boast of. Bananas are also a favorite at the toddlers fruitstand where their unique shape lends them potential as produce and as an important marketing tool, they can double as a mobile telephones. Some people misuse bananas when they place them in jello which causes them to grey over while being suspended in a disgusting death juice that really should be banded. Others put their half of a peeled banana in the fridge to SAVE for later which causes a very unsavery result and others try to replicate the banana into artificial candy form. If you can't handle the banana, let it go. To my fellow banana lovers, however, continue enjoying your banana and peanut butter sandwiches, just remember that the peanut butter layer must be thick enough to glue your mouth together. In conclusion, despite the potential death by potassium risk, I will continue to enjoy my bananas, in all their wonderful ways.
att: a hair-raisin tale of a potassium poisoning!!!!
