Going Banana

Let’s run away
where would we go?
To the other side of the sun

Lets play hide and seek
where would you hide?
Behind the bushes beneath the sunset

I am tired let’s sleep
where would you slumber?
In the heart of the earth

The sun
the sunset
the earth
why these?

The sun has the smile I need
the sunset hold the happiness I feel
the earth is where I am no more

The banana every one slips on
