Mixed Nuts



by Paul Dallgas-Frey









Walnuts keep thumping off our house.

“It sounds like bodies
bouncing off the roof,”
said one of our older sons,
one stormy autumn night.

That was enough
for our ten-year-old,
who has seen one too many scary movies.

And so he crawled into bed with us -

with a hammer in his hand!
