The Nutcracker suite.

Around the Nut Bowl Kingdom,

it was a nutty time,

for all the nuts at the Round Table

gathered around with the usual flair,

only nuts can bring to the table.

Walnuts, Chestnuts, cousins Salted and Unsalted Peanuts,

Roasted Peanuts, Brazil nuts, Smoked Almonds, Macadamias Nuts,

Peanuts with shells, Coconut, and of course, Cashews were all there too.

Don't touch me, and keep your salty parts off me! said Unsalted to Salted.

Okay! Okay! said Salted.

While Walnut with his hard shell

was oblivious to all the goings on.

Cashew Nut said. Well, are we just going to hang around all day?

Roasted Nut replied. I think you've talking about the wrong set of nuts!

Macadamia added. Yes, we're not those sort of nuts!

We are just plain old nuts! said Peanuts with shells.

 Well, we just can't lie here all day, and nibble each other can we! Cashew replied.

Where's the excitement in that! said Coconut.

Why don't you just cast adrift somewhere Coconut! replied Brazil.

Can you smell something burning? asked Cousin Salted Peanut.

Shut up Peanut brain! I know I'm smoked! replied Smoked Almond.

Get it off your chest, Chestnut! said Brazil.

Go get a Brazilian, Brazil Nut! I don't have a chest! replied Chestnut.

While the banter continued

with the place going nuts,

all of a sudden the table shook,

and the nuts got scared.

Their immortal enemy had arrived-

the Nut Cracker.

Hello Boys! 

Let's have a cracking good time shall we!

Who wants to go first? said the Nut Cracker.

Legend has it, some nuts fared better than others

like Coconut who rolled away,

later seen in Castaway

under the disguise name, Wilson,

while others suffered horrific injuries,

even death.

In their final moments, they all shouted.

We are all just nuts to you! Aren't we, Nut Cracker!

Just........

                  nuts to you!

                                     nuts to.... you!

                                                      Nuts!

In the Nutcracker suite,

they are all nuts!

Your comedic talents are buffed to a most brilliant shine, Andrew. Nicely done!

Before I'd even read Beccy's review, I saw this as a cabinet meeting of our government. Plenty of assorted nuts there, and when you watch Prime Minister's Question time you get a whole lot more. That's where you took me Andrew.

Thank you Chris for commenting. Yes its based around politics! lol

[Beccy]

Sounds like a day in Westminster; only slightly saner. Have you watched question time lately? It's enough to make you head for the nearest cliff and jump off. :))

Beccy.

[andrew mitchell]

You have to wonder who is running the country! Thanks for reading Becky, I am delighted you persisted and didn’t jump off!

[Beccy]

Don't jump the gun Andrew; I might well be driving to the White Cliffs of Dover as we speak. :))
