Nutty Flavors of Life

Life is like a nut, Differs in shape, size, color or crust, Life is like a nut. For some, it’s like a coconut, Beyond the reach, safe from gust Very important, much privileged! Whether unripen or matured. For some it’s like a peanut, Malleable, fit in budget Widely spread, versatile no doubt However, down and out. For some it’s like a walnut, You can see the eminence clear cut Set comfortably in its dwell, In a hard stilted shell. For some it’s like a pine nut, Gazes weird I tell you what Shielded with strong beautiful woody cone, Prevents you! to invade its zone. For some it’s like a cashew nut, Self-interested, pricy somewhat Tightly attached with red pulpy drupe, Be cautious! While shelling the fruit For some it’s like a chestnut, Down-to-earth, graceful but, Surrounded with sharp spines called “Bur” All adversities ought to conquer. Life is like a nut, Differs in shape, size, color or crust, Life is like a nut.
