But when he eats them
his nose grows long.
And though he fights
his appetite.
His nose grows longer
into the night.
Geppetto cries
inside a whale.
But a tickling feather
saves the day.
What we learn
from fairy-tales
is known to us
and really clear.
Don’t eat pistachios.
Stay out of whales.
And watch for fairy’s
everywhere.
Such a great whimsical poem. Perhaps it explains why I don’t eat pistachios.
