/// Sewing wasn’t her only pursuit.
She could also preserve any fruit.
With her two skills combined
she took bright yellow rind
and she sewed a banana-skin suit.
/// When preserved, the skin’s color will stay
as bright yellow as it is today.
And if charged by an ape,
there’s a means of escape.
On your suit go slip-slidin’ away.
/// Still, sewing was not her first plan.
She sold jokes to the folks in Japan.
She didn’t earn riches,
but kept them in stitches.
(On the shelf you’ll see her biggest fan.)
