Going Bananas

Bananas are under attack
By a fungus that's spreading fast.
Current banana plants do lack
Defenses and do not long last.
So far a fungicide has not
Been found that can eradicate
This fungus, though there's being sought
A cure before it is too late.
A brand new banana plant may
Be the only way that there will
Be bananas in future day.
Who knows how long the wait until.

Banana eaters do beware,
Soon a banana may be rare.
