I'm Chiquita Banana and I've come to say

Bananas radiate you in a certain way

When the skin is golden with a brownish hue

That K-40 gamma is just waiting for you

You can put them in a salad

You can put them in a pie

Any way they can be ate

They will surely radiate


And bananas like the climate of the very very tropical equator

So your dentist sure can use them

As an x-irradiator.



Hope I haven't violated any copyrights.
