Oh, Pineapple. A Villanelle

Oh, Pineapple
By JScib
Oh, pineapple where have you gone?
In my belly where they can do you no harm?
Did you disappear with Alderaan?

You were bright yellow and healthy green sitting on that lawn
Waiting to be chosen and saved from that smelly farm.
Oh, pineapple where have you gone?

Let’s eat it on the ride home said Shawn,
But I grabbed his hand, taking his knife to disarm.
Did you disappear with Alderaan?

Arriving home close to dawn
After stalling in front of a fawn
Oh, pineapple where have you gone?

Leaving the car with a yawn,
Heading up the stairs Shawn really turned on the charm.
Did you disappear with Alderaan?

You were as beautiful as a swan,
If we didn’t eat you we’d belong in the funny farm
Oh, pineapple where have you gone?
Did you disappear with Alderaan?
