A COLLECTION OF STRANGE POEMS

Bananas
Bananas are not like a lemon Except for in color, since they are both yellow A banana can be used to make someone mellow Kind of like mellow yellow lemonade Made with 100% juice But Minute Maid is made with 0% juice
But on the subject of bananas There are always green bananas They are like yellow bananas, except they are green And they taste like sour bananas
Sour bananas are not the best Unless you like sour things Like Warheads Extreme Sour candy’s Except green bananas are not that sour They are more like people who do not say hello Even when you have said hello to them And then give you a sour look Like they are eating a green banana
Those two different bananas are the only bananas Known to mankind, as of this day,
Except bruised bananas but those don’t really count, Unless someone just discovered a new banana And all you were doing was reading this poem That isn’t really about bananas But about stuff related to bananas
That would mean you were lazy Or at least not as energetic as the banana discoverer And everybody would call you that one person who read about bananas While someone else was discovering a new type of banana

The Meaning of Life
Some people think that life has no meaning Others think that the meaning of life is 42 I think that life is whatever you want it to be It could be living in space if you are an astronaut It could be figuring out the meaning of life Or it could just be sitting on a couch eating food
If we were to ever truly figure out the meaning of life Then we would have to reason to do anything else in life For if life is found out to mean flying through the air Then everyone would just fly through the air And nobody would ever do anything else with their lives
The meaning of life may once have been discovered And then hidden because of what it made people do For if everyone did do exactly what they had to do To follow what the meaning of life is, then someone Must have made everyone forget what the meaning of life is To save them from only doing one single thing with their lives
But now perhaps if we found the meaning of life We would not just do that one thing But we would still explore the vast expanses of the universe
Or maybe try to prove that that is not meaning of life We can only hope that mankind would not just do one thing for the rest of eternity But would instead just focus on doing whatever they want to do Even if it is only doing what the meaning of life says you should do

Train of thought
My train of thought is like a real train Without the tracks to keep it straight It twists and turns and stops And then randomly appears somewhere else That has nothing to do with the previous stop
You could stop at any part of my brain If you were invincible And okay with lots of jerking
You could stop at Ego, at Fear Center, or even Frontal Lobe Central, to keep things realistic Since everyone has a Frontal Lobe
Of course, if you are not invincible You would not survive When it teleports to different places Or when it completely changes Into a different train Like it is about to do now
So if you wanted to ride someone’s train of thought Do not ride mine
For it would kill you from all of the jerking All of the teleporting and changing And the confusion of my random thoughts
Perhaps a sheep’s train of thought would be better Because it might be much simpler Like a train going through the countryside Or maybe it would be more chaotic Like a derailed train, just like mine You just have to take a chance If you really want to ride A train of thought Click here to listen to the recording
