Nutty

There once was a man nicknamed  " Nutty "
It was down to the way he played Footie,
Each match he'd score ten
Again and again
Then he'd pop off for a pint and a butty.

Each family tree has its nuts.
Such ones are quirky, have guts!
But to them, no surprise!
Their mum rolls her eyes.
She lets out a sigh and tuts.

He went to a sanitarium.
He thought it was an aquarium.
" So, I'm nutty says you?
  You haven't a clue!
  I'm really a veterinarian. "

" You are nutty! " Says you to me.
Is this a complement? Am I funny?
But then you pretend
That it wouldn't offend
You ask, " What's the matter honey? "
