The Nutcracker
The Nutcracker
by Sean Colon
Standing straight and tall
Arms at his side
His head held up high
Disciplined and fierce
Well dressed and genteel
Virtuous and valorous
Standing unduanted on display
Yet his fate lies within
Cracking nuts with wooden pride
This is his purported life
The life we think he leads
But in secret he wages war with evil
Fights villains and thieves
He stands victorious against all
He does all that and cracks a nut or two
