A Hungry Otter dines
The "walrus" |
"O Oysters, come and walk with us", the walrus did beseech... |
"A pleasant walk, a pleasant talk, along the briny beach." |
"The time has come," the walrus said, "to talk of many things..." |
"Of shoes and ships and sealing wax, of cabbages and kings." |
"Now if you're ready, oysters dear, we can begin to feed..." |
"But not on us!", the oysters cried, turning a little blue... |
"After such kindness that would be a dismal thing to do." |
"I weep for you," the walrus said, "I deeply sympathize." |
With sobs and tears he sorted out those of the largest size. |
"Shall we be trotting home again?" but answer came there none. |
And this was scarcely odd because, they'd eaten every one. |
