Cavalcade of Cliché, 20



(A parade of words and phrases eligible for retirement.)

Peels of Joy

Well, my second banana was worse than the first.
And in fact I must say it was worse than the worst.

It was soft; it was bruised. And it had a bad smell.
Oh, the second banana did not go too well.

But I then tried a third one—bananas are cheap.
And this last one was splendid … (this poem ain’t deep).

There’s just too much banana—each part and the whole.
I should write about fruit with a great deal more soul.


(Naahhhh.)
