..
Split, Fried, in a Pudding or Cake
Raw, Dried, in a Bread or Baked
Yellow, Green, sometimes Red
Eat them for Breakfast, or a Snack before bed
Phallic in shape, some are Long, some Shorty
Slightly Radioactive....Isotope Potassium-40
And remember they are grown, near the Equator
So never keep them...In the Refrigerator

Precisely what I needed to read on this lovely (almost) Friday… how do you do that, G-man? *snort | giggle*
Mine is here.
Yahtzee...
how does she do that?
we used to have a banana tree in our back yard when we lived in FL...much different taste than what you get at the grocery...
my 55
No second banana you, G-Man. Ode to the fruit that comes in its own wrapper and with a handle. Nice.
My 55 is HERE .
Yummy, my dog loves bananas too :)
My 55 is up.
Have a great weekend G.
How come mine are always black by the time I get home, when they were green when I left the store? :)
And how FUNNY Blue Bunny has bananas on his header today??
Mine's Here.
xo
Good advice about the refrigerator bit!
Here is mine:

Mmm organically grown 55. Slick too!
No need to wait for this 55
ha ha ha, *snicker*
Just got some freshies today. Mmmmm, lol.

It's no wonder Rama added that as the first part. LOL Mine is up HERE. Have a great weekend. Go Warriors! Beat the Wolf Pack. Go Blue. Beat the Hawkeyes.
Love bananas...never seen a red one, though! I got one up again :)
I have banana trees in my back yard...nice to look at, but they don't produce anything edible. :(
Loved your rhyme today. Light-hearted is a good thing.
HERE IS MINE
PG
Looooooove looove love bananas! In any form!
Here's mine!
Have a kick ass weekend Mr. G!
Mmm...tasty 55. I do love bananas. And I make a pretty fine banana bread, if I do say so myself. :)
My 55 is HERE , but I must admit that I actually wrote less than half of it. ;)

One of my favorite fruits, because you can throw one in your purse for later! "Have Banana will travel". Great 55, and have a super sonic weekend! My 55 is up!
gotta have my nanas!

--snow

I feel like going bananas over this 55.
Mine's here.
Have a fantastic weekend G-Man!
oops - forgot the link so you get two comments for the price of one :)

You are so clever! But don't forget to watch out for the tarantula.
I’m in with a warning shot.
what a banana hymn - loved it - and will NEVER keep them in the fridge...
mine's here
that's exactly what I have been doing --going bananas---here's to the weekend!!
Loved your ode to the banana, G-Man! Chiquita Banana is very proud right about now! :)
My 55 is HERE
I almost bought some bananas earlier this week, until I saw that they were 47 cents a pound.
Ironically, I had no problem paying a dollar a pound for apples, or $1.29 for a cheeseburger that cost only a dollar last year.
Obviously my life makes no sense.
Thanks for another Friday 55!
Mine's here. :)
It's a miracle fruit!
Mine is here
I found your banana rhyme very appealing. ;)
As usual I wrote a 55 word groaner.
First time posting, great to be here!
*******
I dream:
I dream of death
and ways to go
I dream of headless body’s
and missing toes
I dream of corpses
rotting away
I dream of all this
night and day
I dream of all this
and after something grand
I dream but all I’ll get
is fire and burning sand
Yes I dream
*******
My 55
Well, alrighty then. Everybody needs a banana poem now and then to liven up their lives. I really thought that Shorty/Potassium-40 rhyme was a humdinger.
Well, onward and upward here. My contribution is up early this week. You might want to wear rubbers (boots) when you get there: Doo-Doo Head 55 here
And let's not forget the most famous banana quote of all time:
Is that a banana in your pocket or are you just happy to see me?
Gold stars for everyone who knows who said it.
Enjoy Friday and the weekend.
Mine is up too.
I love bananas. Nice one.
You'll find mine here.
what a delicious 55!
Mine is up!
Oooh I love getting my lips round a banana! ;)
My Flash Fiction is up, but as I report on my blog my Flash Fiction will only be a flash until after Thanksgiving. Sorry to dash in and then dash out, but I'll be back

Funny AND educational! Who knew they were radioactive?
Cool 55 as usual.
Mine's here.
Funny 55.. Loved it G-Man..
Mine is here
--Someone Is Special--
Loved this!! Yummy, healthy and even kinda sexy. What's not to like?
http://thehalfwaypoint.net/2010/10/delicious/
Phallic indeed...my dear man always arranges them in a bowl with a nice round apple on each side...of course the banana is in the 'upright' position. Figures. LOLOLOL
Great 55.
I have a 'double whammy' 55...two for the price of one today.
The link is HERE I'd love to have you stop by for a visit. Have a super WeekEnd....and G-man, thanks for the wonderful comment you left for me last week. Much appreciated.
ha~ love the simple banana! and never thought of all it characteristics!
In need of a "kick ass" weekend! Hope to "see" you soon!
http://jennasboots.blogspot.com/2010/10/friday-55.html
gotta go find my instructions on how to link in here again!
Great fun and full of information! (But why do they so often smell like parmesan?)
Can't do the clever linky bit so mine is here:
http://jabblog-jabblog.blogspot.com/2010/10/friday-55-flash-fiction.html
Here we go again! (Happy Friday!)
Just Hell
LOL Now I'm singing the Chiquita Banana girl song ALL DAY I know it! I have a pile of them getting too ripe on our table now -- looks like a banana-bread kind of day.
Thanks for hosting, have a wonderful weekend!
First time participating, although I've admired many times.
Our parakeet LOVES bananas. When my son pulls the peel back and leaves it hanging inside out, she flies over and delicately mooches off the inside of the skin -- something he can't get to anyway!
Here's mine. http://southlakesmom.blogspot.com/2010/10/flash-55-for-friday.html
Which made me laugh as Hubby ate banana bread this morning. :)
Mine's up...have a good weekend!
What a fruity 55! Great way for me to start my Friday. Click the picture to visit the goat's blog. Past the url to read my 55.

Don't slip on the peel! Nice one, G-Man!
Mine's up.
Here is my flash 55. Enjoy!
Roses to Rainbows
Wise advice: Never keep them in the fridge. I hear they shrink when they get cold!
Ahem, well, mine for today is just a simple little 55 that can be found
HERE
I got sidetracked and felt bad I didn't have one planned to go out this week.
Polly.....? hehehehehe
Good one...G
omg 5th....hahaha
LOL, G-man. You do remember that Suzie's House is not my 55, right?
the story of a banana, clever indeed!! i got mine up!!
This was such a cute one, Galen...and I love bananas, especially Bananas Foster at Brennan's in New Orleans, though I don't think I'll make it there this visit.
Whoops, I forgot, I'm up at:
http://rnsane.blogspot.com/2010/10/flash-55-friday-its-great-to-be-in-new.html
I have some over-ripe ones that I am going to make into banana bread. I will save you a piece!
Mine is up here.
Have a great friday.
♥namaste♥
You are the top Banana in my book G-Man! don't worry I won't slip and not do my 55 duty today...see ya later. ;)
*mwah* You are such an ass-kicking sweet heart for commenting on both.
Nice little ode to the banana you got there, G!!! And LOL on Ms. 5th. That girl cracks me UP! Mine is here.
I'm a peach if know one. And i am not in, i'm way over the limit, i slipped up again.
This is my first 55. Hope I've got the right idea. If not, I hope you enjoy the poem anyway :) Kerry

It's been a couple of weeks but I've a FF55 up: The Letter
this reminds me of my mom she uses banana leaves to cook in some of the hispanic dishes during the holidays.
i posted my 55 :)
I tried a 55 -- it's at meriak.blogspot.com.
I remember that the bananas in Costa Rica were much sweeter than the ones that we get here.
When I was sick a few years ago, all I could eat was bananas. I can barely face one today!
Hope all is well in your world. My 55er is up. Best. D
I LOVE this! It is so funny! Did you know apes eat a banana by splitting it in half like a breadstick? Try it, now that is funny! Kids love that trick. Speaking of tricks, Is that a banana in your pocket?
Mine is up HERE .
Sorry, I'll work on my sense of humor. I lost it somewhere in a bunch of banana news....
