Am I Nuts

Am I Nuts?

Chestnuts don’t grow on chests
Walnuts don’t grow on walls
Peanuts don’t come from peas
Cashews come from the fruit on trees
Pecans don’t come from peacock feathers

Pistachios fall from Pinocchio’s nose
Hazelnuts relax in the hazy sun
Macadamias are MacDonald’s big Mac nuts
Almonds are singing nuts, called the Almond Brothers
Acorns come from the unicorns tusk

Nuts are nature’s ways of making sure
We all have a little fun
The biggest nut there ever was
Surely you can see
Is the Nutty Arthur Vaso

Whom wrote these verses three

Hi Arthur. So this is what happens when a nut rolls around on the page. Well, you have certainly given me reason to smile this morning. And now I must go and have my hazelnut coffee and a doughnut. Good one, my friend..... Robert.

G'day Arthur... I really enjoyed this take on nuts in your poem. I wonder if nuts complain about being compared to humans with a left of centre personality - Lindsay

If a Nut, knows he is a Nut, then dear Arthur, he cannot be a Nut, he just pulls our leg, making us thus feel like Nuts! Ha-ha!
