Oh banana bread, how I despised
Thee for so many years.
As we both know to the point
That you brought me to tears.
It was never really you, you see
But rather the fact that you were made
From bananas, a fruit I hate to eat
And through that I would feel enslaved.
But dear banana bread,
You won me over with your moist decadence and charm.
And now when your smell enters my head,
I feel as though I could eat my arm.
You are a joy to create,
It’s true, and to eat.
What with the smashing and mashing, it’s fate
That thine sugar shall coat my teeth.
I love you with butter,
With yogurt, with jam.
But sometimes the best way to eat you
Is just plain, and no, not with ham.
Banana bread we will live on together
In perfect union, you and I.
And I will remain thankful for the journey we’ve had
For now I prefer you over any kind of pie.
FIN.
I don’t like bananas, either! I do love banana bread, though…weird, huh? 🙂
Yum! My favorite banana bread spread is cream cheese…. delish!
I love your poem…and banana bread! Yum! 🙂
Love banana bread, love your pics, love your post. 🙂 I recently was “gifted” an issue of Cooking Light that featured about 5 variations of banana bread, including some kind of peanut butter sauce one. I have been waiting for the perfect Saturday morning to indulge my inner baker. 🙂
mmm delicious! banana bread, pumpkin bread. Yum yum yum!
How do you do this? How do you make your bread look like pure perfection every time?
That bread came out quite nicely.
Banana bread + PB = heaven…Love this!!!!
I love banana bread! And any other quick bread for that matter – pumpkin, zucchini. It just screams FALL!
Love it! And I love banana bread too, so fun to make, even better to eat.
I have never made banana bread, believe it or not!
I plan to make some this weekend =)
Never knew you didn’t like bananas! 🙂 but I’m SO glad you’ve found the light with the wonderfulness of this bread. And poetry, heh.
Hehe. So cute! And crafty. I’m not that creative. My sister is the same way – she loves banana bread but hates bananas.
love it! 🙂 and if this is the bread i had a church yesterday, it was DELISH!
I heart banana bread!!! I can eat it for every single meal!
I love the poem! Perfect:)
Haha I love ode to banana bread! I can’t believe you don’t like bananas – I prob have 1 every single day :p You know what else is good with banana bread (aside from eating it plain or with butter/jam)? Nutella 🙂
Haha, this was adorable! I love banana bread, too! It is just so moist and delicious!!
I luuuuuuurve banana bread and that loaf looks perrrrrfect. 🙂
Cute post! But I’m sorry you don’t like bananas… I like them almost as much as I like apples, and that’s saying a lot!
Thank you for the reminder. My hubs has been begging for banana bread. I think it’s a perfect chilly evening to bake:)

Banana bread is the best 🙂

I love banana bread. Wish I could have a slice of yours:)
Heheheh looooove me some banana bread!
I read that and didn’t even get a recipe? What gives? 😉
i know, i know, but it’s not my recipe and it’s not published online 🙂
Considering I made 4-5 different kinds of banana bread over the course of 2 weeks last month, I can relate! 🙂
That was great. I love banana bread too but I’m too sleepy to reply in verse. 🙂
