Monkey jump up on the beach
Telling a story with his banana
The jungle safari men kept a beat
Coconut music happen
Oh, jump up high
Oh, jump up low
Jump on a coconut
Go Go Go!
Oh, Jump to the left
Oh, Jump to the right
Jump on a coconut
Isn’t it nice?
Now Monkey he said
“I bring a banana to bed
but in the morning it be gone.”He say “that banana split, It lost it’s appeal; I jump on the coconut It always be real.” The Safari men say “That not so! Not a story that we’d like to know. The Beach is the music The Jungle is the tune The Banana is the beginning The Coconut come to an end..” Oh, jump up high Oh, jump up low Jump on a coconut Go Go Go! Oh, Jump to the left Oh, Jump to the right Jump on a coconut Isn’t it nice? The Monkey and the Safari men sit right down Down by the Jungle Beach, Down on the ground, They eat the Banana and the Coconut too The story is in the music And it tastes good too! Oh, jump up high Oh, jump up low Jump on a coconut Go Go Go! Oh, Jump to the left Oh, Jump to the right Jump on a coconut Isn’t it nice? *************** ****************** *********************** **********************
OK…ANYBODY who tries to find something deep and meaningful in the above, let me know what you are on! 
Once again, Bluebell Books issued their weekly challenge, and this one I just took to the silly stage: The image at the top of this post is called a Wordle (never heard of that before), and the rules for the challenge are thus:
Create a story, a prose or a poem using at least 4 words from the Wordle given above. of course, you may apply all words provided in your entry, enjoy the challenge!
Words do form images, write a poem or a story using the words provided, have fun!
So, I was JUST HAVING FUN with this one. Today we were talking about Harry Belefonte, and I realize now, when I was playing around with this, I was thinking “Come, Mr. Tally man, tally some bananas…” and that is where this happened.
Go jump on a coconut…isn’t it nice?

There is no way possible to dig in deep and get serious with this one. I also started thinking of that song and the movie Beetle Juice. very fun read Stu, thanks for sharing
Thanks Deborah. I just pulled this one out from August: have a lot of new readers now who may never have seen this.
THIS MAKE SENSE TO ME AT LEAST, I DID ENJOY IT AND LOVE IT. THANKS FOR SHARING
Thank you. I was just having fun with it. Glad you enjoyed it.
Brilliant! I could hear the rhythm and see the cartoon characters you were singing about. Harry Belafonte! Brilliant! Thank you for sharing something so completely devoid of seriousness and melancholy – I think we all need that!
You are most welcome, CC. I just don’t get why almost everyone who is doing these prompts have to go the angst route, even when they gave the prompt for a kid lit., Made NO sense to me. yes, we need to smile. Thank you.
Great flow! I could probably find something deep and meaningful – in a perverse way, of course, but i’m trying to go against my natural tendencies!
The punning and innuendo are right there on top. No digging necessary. Hope you enjoyed the humor.
juicy and fun! what a talent
Thank you very much. Juicy. I like that too.
Ha! love this…. can’t go wrong with Harry Belafonte as inspiration
Thank you. Funny thing is, it wasn’t until I was finished with it that I found the synchronicity in the day.
Taco pizza? “Jump to the left, jump to the right, jump on a coconut, isn’t it nice?”
Mmmmm…..Taco Pizza.
Hilarious! Thanks for sharing such a fun piece!
Thank you, you two. It was just plain fun to write.
Can’t trust bananas, they either split or get all mushy very quickly. Now a coconut – well, you have to work a little harder but it’s worth it.
I am, of course, referring to weak character vs. strong character.
This is a fun and catchy little piece. Now I’ve got the tune from “Under the Sea” stuck in my head.
Hee hee…under de sea…under de sea…it’s so salacious, just you and meeeeee…..
Cool poem… I feel a warmth reading this…
Thank you Neni. Warmth..good deal.
I can actually feel the tropical island rhythms of this piece … it would make a nice jingle for an advert on a banana or coconut drink of sorts … very original !

Thank you Deirdra!!! I truly appreciate it.
super creative and playful,
love your imagination, well done.
Jingle: thank you. I’m having fun with most of these challenges.
A wonderful fun piece of poetry loved this one
Thank you Jeanie. I really was writing this as a song lyric (most of my so called poetry is more song lyric in my mind). Thanks.
such a fun poem with a real rhythm and beat loved it …thank you
Thank you Kez. It’s also easy to dance to, too.
Now Monkey he said
“I bring a banana to bed
but in the morning it be gone.”
He say “that banana split,
It lost it’s appeal;
I jump on the coconut
It always be real.”
Yessssss! Love the playful puns and silly nonsense of it all
Thank you so much, Wordcoaster (love that handle, btw). Just as you wrote, playful and silly word nonsense.
Twice as nice when you share it with your friends ! Thanks for sharing this Stu, it really made me smile, and I thought about the song right as soon as you started the chorus. Really delightful.
Thanks Jill. It’s just silly fun…needed to be that, for me.
I’m on Jimmy Buffet! Loved this fun, esoteric, and tropical song! I hear the music in my head; well, hey, it’s better than hearing voices!
Martha, any music is good music. I don’t like Pina Coladas, but…Frozen Raspberry Margaritas, anyone?
Oh I not only found a deeper meaning I laughed hard at it too. LOL I’ll not post it here though so you don’t assault me with your keyboard.
This was funny, I liked it.
The monkey’s love for bananas rings so true in this brilliant… KIDDING!
Good one. This prompt lends itself to silliness, I believe.
I love your line at the end of the poem.
Thanks Charles. I WILL smack someone upside the head if they try to dig deep into this one. Just a warning!!
