Nonsense
None of it makes any sense
And the fact that that doesn’t make any sense
Doesn’t make any sense
Now, I thought we were onto something with reason
But then that doesn’t make any sense either
So I guess it’s all just nonsense
I recently discovered bananas are radioactive
They even emit antimatter
I do quite like raspberries though
About this poem
This is about the chaos in the world and how mad it all is. The facts about bananas are true, and the blowing of raspberries at the absurdity of it all.
