Write in the park, Day 18.
"Look at me! Look at me!",
says the happy banana tree
Playfully waving outstretched arms
for everyone to see
Each branch bears a big green leaf
swaying gently in the air
A long hand hidden in a sleeve
a baggy shirt it wears
It wants to stop me in my way
saying, "Let's try peek-a-boo"
A happy little child at play
it wants me to join in too.
This happy little banana tree
does not grow very tall
It is all green and leafy,
and has no wood at all.
