Am I going Nuts? After writing this poem.....sounds like I am! I need a little bit of humor right now. Enjoy!

 

Nuts
 
My life in a nutshell
It would not fit.
The world’s largest nut,
An inedible pecan is
Seven feet high,
Twelve feet long,
Twelve thousand pounds.
 
Would a Nutcracker
Be able to crack it?
World’s largest stands
Nineteen feet high
Can crack any nut up to
The size of a coconut,
Which, is not a true nut.
 
If I found that perfect nut
And, it was large enough,
My life in a Nutshell
Still would not fit.
And, the world’s largest
Nutcracker still
Could not crack it.

Some nuts were not meant to be cracked, take for example the common lug nut...hey you never said the nut had to be all natural. Patrick
