  Nuts About Each Other: A Song      For Amy and Aaron on their 13th anniversary, July 30, 2024 They’re nuts about each other. They’re nuts about each other.  They’re nuts about each other.      Nuts not squirrely They’re peanuts about each other. They’re peanuts about each other. They’re peanuts about each other.      Sweet peanut brittle They’re pecans about each other. They’re pecans about each other. They’re pecans about each other.      Just pecan-ic not volcanic They’re walnuts about each other. They’re walnuts about each other. They’re walnuts about each other.      Walnetto not falsetto They’re hickories about each other. They’re hickories about each other. They’re hickories about each other.      Hickory no trickery They’re almonds about each other. They’re almonds about each other. They’re almonds about each other. ...
