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.
