Pistachios That Pamper

Hazelnut Fairy by Cicely Mary Barker

Pistachios That Pamper

I know...this is a Hazlenut Fairy...but she picks pistachios too...and wears the same colors...

I love pistachios from the bag
That left their shells behind
O, scrumptious, yummy little friends
You soothe a weary mind

Green and sweet and crunchy
They comfort and inspire
Sometimes they live in ice cream
Of THIS I'll never tire!

I'm told there even is a soup
Made from this tree-born source
O, HOLY inspiration
I'll cook a pot, of course!

So, freely will I pamper
Myself with flowing wine
What?!!...nuts and cream are nice, I'm sure
But Pinot Noir's divine!!
