I am a walnut
A hard outer shell
Keeping my secrets within
Few bother to crack me
It takes too much effort
for such an unappetizing morsel
But those who do take the time
Find that once I am open
All of me has been spilled out to them
And I cannot uncrack
But he is a pumpkin
He opens for you
But you have to pull his secrets out of him
Bit by slimy bit
Until you have them laid out on a
table
and still you must sort through his insides
to find who he really is
And when you think you know
There is another secret
That he won't explain
He doesn't want you to know him

I am a walnut
A hard outer shell
Keeping my secrets within
Few bother to crack me
It takes too much effort
for such an unappetizing morsel
But those who do take the time
Find that once I am open
All of me has been spilled out to them
And I cannot uncrack
But he is a pumpkin
He opens for you
But you have to pull his secrets out of him
Bit by slimy bit
Until you have them laid out on a
table
and still you must sort through his insides
to find who he really is
And when you think you know
There is another secret
That he won't explain
He doesn't want you to know him
