What is it that peels in strips <br />But inside you cannot find any pips. <br /> <br />What is it that is yellow or green <br />But not leaves; that’s not what I mean. <br /> <br />What is it that is often seen <br />With its bunch of friends between. <br /> <br />What is it that’s the butt of jokes <br />And even sometimes used in a hoax. <br /> <br />What is it that is long, not fat <br />And never wears a peaked cap. <br /> <br />What is it that’s a slippery thing <br />Often empty, just a skin. <br /> <br />Do you think it is Tom, or was it Dick <br />Who you met with down at the Gym <br /> <br />Ohh no! You are so wrong! <br />It’s just a banana that you slipped on. <br /> <br />When you were rushing to meet Sally <br />And had not yet found Harry <br />Hoping that he will be the one.<br /><br />David Taylor<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/tom-dick-sally-and-harry/
