A couple of nuts...

In every family, there is always that one,

Who is not quite right and keeps everyone stunned.

In our family, we happen to have two,

He created the cuckoo nest, and over she flew.

His profound conversations often turn left,

She swore the items were free when being arrested for theft.

Who needs direction - they don't - instructions waste time,

To her, his idea made sense - so into danger she climbed.

Then off to the emergency room, they go,

She sliced her hand open, and he fractured his toe.

To them, they succeeded - objective met,

So what they got injured - they won the bet!

Parking lots are confusing, too large, and bizarre,

OFTEN, they walk around aimlessly, then break into the wrong car.

Walking fast like a boss and scratching his head,

What happened? Are you hurt? The words often said.

Passionately, she repeats a story, including facts and a song,

Wait, what did she say? You better look that up - she gets EVERY narrative wrong.

It's not their fault their brains function at high speed,

There is a method to their madness, a rhyme to their reason, they plead.

He has caught fire after being warned too close,

Filled with bumps and bruises, she doesn't watch where she goes.

The life of the party, the butt of the jokes,

Blindly naive and easily coaxed.

His positive outlook and hilarious renditions,

Her caretaking nature and resilient ambitions.

Two peas in a pod that can't be left alone,

Both are dangerously impulsive and accident-prone.

The family tree, pride-filled and tall,

Imperfectly perfect even with the two nuts that fall.
