Grex Poetry Item 249: mixed nuts in my travel snack sack
Entered by ignatz on Sun Apr 8 04:10:00 UTC 2001:

i opened a pack of travel snacks going to chicago,
i was going to chicago.
the snacks weren't. anyways,about these nuts,
the package had said "a variety of dried fruit slices."
but when i had a handfull, i got mixed nuts!

i wrote a letter to complain about this evil mixed nut mix up,
i still haven't recieved a return reply, what's up?
and i don't want nutz with my peaches.
so two days ago i called my lawyer named TOM, I call him Tommy,
i said, "Yo Tommy, i gots this bag of variety dried fruit slices,
and instead i got nuts like the ones found on nude beaches.

so he says "well. that sounds interesting."
now let me tell you, "interesting" didn't sound like he was listening.
i said "Tommy i'm serious, i don't eat no nuts.
i don't eat no meat, not veggies nor fish. no dairy products. you there?
you hear me man? i only like fruit. variety dried pieces of fruit!!!
he then asked me if i picked out the nuts.

I'm a bit baffled by the "nuts found on nude beaches."  Are these literal or
figurative nuts?
