Today I did something real cool

Just before heading off to the pool

The other night I turned on the TV

Just to see what there was to see

I learned about hair treatment because

I stopped on a channel and watched Dr. Oz

He had two women with him there

Rubbing something in their hair

Oatmeal? No…It was banana mash

So I bought bananas with a little cash

Looked for a special type

The ones that were really ripe

Took them home, mashed them up

Put the mash in a clean cup

Then with extra special care

I rubbed the mash into my hair

In spots my hair is getting kinda thin

Banana mash might help keep it in

And just to try help this rhyme

Had to leave mash in for a time

Dr. Oz said that fifteen minute

Was the recommended time limit

Was on Triond reading my mail

And time past me it did sail

Mash no longer soft had turn hard

Oh no, is my hair now scarred?

Into the shower to wash it out

Leave my hair nice without a doubt

Banana hair problems to resolve

In shampoo bananas don’t dissolve

I shampooed my hair like I was mean

Surely now it must be clean

Bits of banana were everywhere

I mean EVERYWHERE not just in hair

On shower curtain was banana blotch

Even banana mash was in my crotch

I started to panic, on verge of fits

Now I got banana with privates

Holy Miss Hanna Montana

Got banana on my banana

Wash and scrub oh what a strain

There goes mash bits down the drain

Now some may tisk, some may scoff

But I felt good as I toweled off

Later ready to go out, I get a scare

In the mirror I look at my hair

To my hair banana made a diff

But why is my hair so damn stiff

What has happened to this old gaffer

My ears soon ring with peels of laughter

Out in public people stop and stare

At chunks of dry banana still in my hair

Thought my hair would make the girls swoon

But they look at me like I’ve from the moon

I wear my hat as we go to the Y pool

But no one drools for this old fool

Under the shower I stand with spunk

Pulling dried banana and hair out by the chunk

Better turn down the water lest I scald

Better slow down before I’m bald

I look down, my eyes leak in pain

As chunks of banana hair plug the drain

My fingers in my hair get tangled lots

As I try to work through banana knots

But half an hour later I’m finally through

So from here on I know just what to do

Wash out banana while it is still moist

Then about my hair I’ll just rejoice

Because if I make this same mistake agin

Next banana mash will be on bare head skin
