    Mind you, he doesn't like salads (or vegetables much) either. The vegetables he eats are potatoes, peas, baked beans and spaghetti.

    It's probably because he's an ex-chef.

He made the poem to be a dialogue between him and the fever, the described his fever as a shy lover who only visits at night, gave him so much pain and so much pleasures, gave him highs and lows, and in the morning no trace of his lover is found.
    I recall WH Auden who attributed most poetic inspsiration to Influenza - wais it Yeats or Colleridge who was continually ill ?

    Anyway - Ive got it all here in my head - all that remains to be said is -

    Look at the Sky
    Look at the River
    Isnt it Good ?

    Banana "trees" are classified as herbaceous plants. So they are plants, and also herbs. They are not trees.

    But they do walk though.

    Trees, mosses, grasses and algae that is.
