Banana



Blue like the sky
Alright, who said that?
Not the monkey, monkeys can’t talk
Absolutely blue like the deepest ocean
No, this is not happening right now
Actually it is, and I’m telling you it’s blue!

Wait a minute, what is blue?
Have a look at this
Accurately I see, that is not blue
Then what color is it?

Basic color theory would tell us that is yellow
Astonishing! So the sky is yellow?
Next you’ll say Astronauts see the world as a yellow marble
Astronaut’s do see the world as a yellow marble!
Nice try, not falling for that one
Anything can be yellow! But you’re right, it’s just a banana
