The ******* which bore the oyster

The ******* which bore the oyster

The meats, the cheese, the cider

It always seemed to annoy her

Deep within her mind's dark cloister

The cost of one was the cost of all

A pity to pick and choose

An oyster with no *******

(nor meat nor cheese nor cider)

And lights'd be on for rent.

Or meat and cheese and cider

(No oyster shucked over a golden cent)

And not just lights, but groceries too.
