About me
I woke up laughing. Must have slept funny.
I am "Banana the Poet" living on the beautiful Greek island of Kefalonia.
My main poetic influences are: Hilaire Belloc, Spike Milligan, the British Limerick, BBC Radio Comedy, and Ronnie Barker.
My main inspiration seems to come from articles in the Daily Mail and the internet.

We had our Halloween film night last night because that was when the guests could make it.
We watched - Dead and Loving It!
Tonight we watched The Matrix - which is creepy in its own way.

Thanks bunnybunbunbun - I'm relieved - I was worrying I might have poet's block :(
But I just needed to write a good poo poem - it always worked for A.A. Milne - one of my role models in the poetic world.

I'm aware I am not a poet,
many others also know it.
Alternative pastime for me,
Ryming verse satisfactory.

Current affairs are my gruel,
Satirising the events my fuel.
A never ending supply of this,
Aha bingo.I can take the p*ss.
