MELLOW YELLOW

He was my inspiration
always so calm in any crisis,
seemed so deep, profound and brilliant,
I hung on every word he said

One day he was speaking of the universe
leaving me in awe of his insight
when suddenly a taxi drove by,
which he asked who was driving the banana?

Later the cops arrested him for using and selling LSD,
that was the 70’s and I’ve never thought of bananas the same again.
