Buy Bananas and Give Yourself a Treat

In album Project 52 B&W

Fruit is very good to eat, put it to the test.
I have tried them all you know, bananas are the best.

Buy bananas and give yourself a treat.
Buy bananas the finest fruit to eat.
Take them home to mother, feed them to the twins,
But buy bananas but be careful of the skins.

If you're hair is very straight and you want it curled,
Follow my advice, it is the best thing in the world.

Buy bananas and give yourself a treat.
Buy bananas the finest fruit to eat.
Don't buy frozen mutton, don't use milk in tins,
But buy bananas but be careful of the skins.

If your landlord comes around and says to you "Look herem
I must have my rent today," just whisper his ear:

Buy bananas and give yourself a treat.
Buy bananas the finest fruit to eat.
If you lose a button, don't use safety pins,
But buy bananas but be careful of the skins.

The project this week calls for colour in a black and white image. So here is my colour with no colour.

The Old Geezer

I have played the button accordeon since I was 17 or 18 (too much of an old geezer to remember now). It's always been a part of who I am. Self portrait taken for : Project 52 B&W Week 2: Self Portrait #P52BW13 | +Project 52 B&W

The snow fell in big fat flakes leaving this snowline of grasses on the horizon. A white start to the new black and white project.
