Banana Split
A banana split
might be the perfect treat,
a little bit of creamy,
a whole lot of sweet.
Start with a banana,
peel and slice in two.
Put it in a long dish
shaped like a canoe.
Next comes the ice cream.
Three scoops are best,
vanilla, chocolate, strawberry,
then comes the rest—
Add fudge sauce and syrups,
nuts and whipped cream,
drop a cherry on the top …
Banana Split Supreme!
might be the perfect treat,
a little bit of creamy,
a whole lot of sweet.
Start with a banana,
peel and slice in two.
Put it in a long dish
shaped like a canoe.
Next comes the ice cream.
Three scoops are best,
vanilla, chocolate, strawberry,
then comes the rest—
Add fudge sauce and syrups,
nuts and whipped cream,
drop a cherry on the top …
Banana Split Supreme!
