Pistachios
—————————————–
Plate full of pistachio shells
Those salty nuts are delicious
On the calories I won’t dwell
But at least they are nutritious.
*
At eating these nuts I excel
The cracking gets repetitious
It’s at least one thing I do well
And they say they are nutritious.
*
Take them away and I will yell
To share them I am judicious
There really is no parallel
I promise they are nutritious.
*
The number eaten I can’t tell
When few are left it gets vicious
Eat too many and feel unwell
But at least they are nutritious.
