Poem by The Nutcracker Lady

"YES, KIDS LOVE NUTCRACKERS"

It may be a soldier, it may be a king, but Kids love nutcrackers

It may be a pilgrim, it may be a queen, but Kids love nutcrackers

It may be a drummer, a clown or a cook

It may be a painter, or mean Captain Hook

It may be a rabbit, a mouse or a bear, Kids just love nutcrackers

It may be a teacher, it may be St. Nick, but Kids love nutcrackers

It may be a shepherd, it may be a dwarf, but Kids love nutcrackers

It may be from Scotland or Russia or France

It may be a Spaniard who just loves to dance

It may be the Wizard, the Tinman or Lion, Kids just love nutcrackers

It may be King Arthur, it may be a knight, but Kids love nutcrackers

It may be Darth Vader, it may be King Tut, but Kids love nutcrackers

It may be a horse, a wolf or a cat

Or a silly old monkey wearing a hat

It may be a dentist, a doctor or nurse, Kids just love nutcrackers

It may be St. Peter, it may be Jack Frost, but Kids love nutcrackers

It may be a hunter, it may be a judge, but Kids love nutcrackers

It may be Snow White, or Happy, or doc

It may be a man who is making a clock

It may be a bluebird, an eagle, or owl, Kids just love nutcrackers

It may be a lizard, it may be a bug, but Kids love nutcrackers

It may be Ben Franklin or Aladdin with lamp, but Kids love nutcrackers

It may be a Boy Scout or fireman with hose

Or maybe a guy with a gigantic long nose

It may be a panda, a moose or a cow, Kids just love nutcrackers

It may be a princess, it may be a frog, but Kids love nutcrackers

It may be an elephant, it may be a snail, but Kids love nutcrackers

It may be a farmer, it may be the Pope

Or it may be a cowboy with spurs and a rope

It may be a pirate, a jester or witch, Kids just love nutcrackers
