Poem 'On Eating a Banana'

On Eating a Banana

How to start?
like a monkey or a human?
Monkeys know a thing or two about bananas,
eating from the bottom up;
the east way to peel.
But humans use tools so I opt for a sharp knife
and slice at both ends and the thing is done.
I have my banana;
and I have a knife that I have to wash up.
Monkeys know a thing or two about bananas.
