Banana Lion

Diego, 826CHI
This poem might be considered a metaphorical soundoff between a lion and a banana. Written in Spanish and English.

Banana Lion

A lion looks

like a banana

because it is yellow,

yellow as the sun.

A lion is as furry

as a yellow

hat.

A lion

is

as

loud

as a

pencil sharpener! Roar!

A lion eats

bananas because it is

yellow.

A lion lives in a yellow cave!

It’s like a banana!

An old lion is as

old as a black banana.

El León Plátano

Un león se parece

a un plátano

porque el es amarillo,

amarillo como el sol.

Un león es peludo

como un sombrero amarillo.

iUn león

es

tan

ruidoso

como

una sacapuntas! iGrruaa!

Un león come

plátanos porque es

amarillo.

iUn león vive en una cueva amarilla!

iEs como un plátano!

Un león viejo es tan viejo

como un plátano negro.
