Very bananas

Happy Poetry Friday! I've been reading A Whale of a Time (365 children's poems, selected by Lou Peacock), which is where I spotted today's poem. I was already a fan of Wendy Cope and this one is so much fun.

I am bananas.
I am very fond of a poet.

I am a poet of bananas.
I am very fond.

A fond poet of ‘I am, I am’ –
Very bananas.
