I’m a Plantain

I’m a plantain

Not a banana

Related but different you see

My skin is much tougher

My texture is rougher

My name starts with ‘P’ not a ‘B’

I’m a plantain

Not a banana

Ok we’re both yellow - that’s true

Though my cousin’s sweeter

I’ve more centimetres

The longest one out of the two

I’m a plantain

Not a banana

Remember what this poem said

So please come and try me

To bake, boil or fry me

Don’t buy him - but buy me instead!
