Soundbites From the Edge
Wikipedia: Soundbite: Characterized by a short phrase or sentence that deftly captures the essence of what the speaker is trying to say. Such key moments in dialogue (or monologue) stand out better in the audience's memory and thus become the "taste" that best represents the entire "meal" of the larger message or conversation. Sound bites are a natural consequence of people placing ever greater emphasis on summarizing ever-increasing amounts of information in their lives. Welcome.

Banana Haiku
Bananas gone bad
Just microwave them on high
Kills all the fruit flies
Children:
While you may may do your level best to push my buttons, nothing makes me more ILL than ripe bananas. Except for ripe bananas with fruit flies circling. Or when all the bananas break off at the top from the stalk when I pick them up. Ew. As far as I'm concerned, when they get past the slightly green starchy stage, they are rotten. They have then become bad bananas that I put in the naughty corner until Daddy can work his magic and make them into pure and sweet banana chocolate chip muffins.
Born again bananas.
