Sweet Chestnut

You may have heard of old chestnuts before
They are the stories that are told and told
They lose their charm and make you want to snore
They are the jokes that are no longer bold

But there is another chestnut you should know
It is the sweet chestnut that grows in woods
It is the nut that you can roast and sow
It is the nut that tastes so very good

The sweet chestnut is not an old cliché
It is a fresh and lovely autumn treat
It is a nut that you can eat today
It is a nut that you will want to eat

So do not judge a chestnut by its name
A sweet chestnut is not the same old game
