The Whole World's Gone Bananas

I've just seen a banana on sale in a shop
Wrapped in plastic, with a little hook for hanging up
To make a display attractive enough to entice you to look
There was a label there to inform that "banana" was the name of the product in question
Part of a range that they called "fresh fruit"
Just peel and eat it was the serving suggestion
All of this packaging for a single banana
Something which is already perfectly packed by nature in its own biodegradable wrapper
It made me wonder if I'd finally cracked. What next?
Why not wrap the whole world up in plastic to sterilise it
And keep us safe from germs? But we cannot cheat natural decay forever
There will come a day when we're all food for worms
The whole world's gone bananas
