~ Mixed Nuts ~


One or two are present every gathering,
Whatever party, function, or affair.
Birthdays, anniversaries or superbowl,
No question, Mixed Nuts are always there.



An assortment of Mixed Nuts are available,
For any size celebration, you’ve got in mind.
Really very versatile, when it comes to parties,
Usually accompanied, by several bottles of wine.



Mixed Nuts, so handy when your party’s dull,
Creating fun, before your guests have fled.
Singing karaoke, to a tune by "Elvis Presley"
Dancing with A lampshade on their head.

Just love this... sounds like we come from the same demograph, Bonnie!! Takes me back to my British childhood days, the tragi-comic scenes of domestic bliss and family bonding; our simple, wholesome ways of just all "havin a goooood time"! The days when Twiglets were the height of sophistication... ahh, where did those days go?! Was the... let me guess, "Uncle" with the lampshade also a bit of an old bottom-pincher as well??!! Sorry, my cheekiness is running away with me... this struck more than a few happy notes in my book of memoirs, Bonnie, thank you! :)) Kate xx

(Giggles), I love this and it is soooooooooo true too (giggles again). I have known quite a few Mixed Nuts in my time, and they were always funny, sometimes just doing nothing (giggles some more). This is a very good and humorous poem Bonnie, I love every word (giggles while rolling on the floor). May the Lord Jesus bless you, and all the Mixed Nuts too, and be with you always, and the MIxed Nuts too, and at your side constantly, and the Mixed Nuts too. With much love in my heart, joy to the world, peaceon earth, & ((((((((((MANY SISTERLY HUGGGGSSSS))))))))), your little sister, Barbie
