The Walrus And The Carpenter - Alice In Wonderland
The sun was shining upon the sea Shining with all his might He did his very best to make The rolls smooth and bright And this was odd because it was The middle of the night The walrus and the carpenter Were walking cross the land The beach was wide from side to side But much too full of sand "Mr Walrus," said the carpenter, "My brain begins to perk We'll sweep this clear and in a year If you don't mind the work." "The time has come," the walrus said, "To talk of other things Of shoes and ships and sealing wax Of cabagges and kings And while the sea is boiling hot And wheather pigs have wings Kaloo Kalay no work today We're cabbages and kings" Oysters, come and walk with us The day is warm and bright A pleasant walk A pleasant talk Would be a shear delight (Yes and perhaps if we get hungery on the way We coul stop and ah, have a bite!) But mother oyster winked her eye And shook her weary head She new too well it was much to soon To leave her oyster bed "The sea is nice Take my advice And stay right here" mom said The time has come my little friends To talk of other things Of shoes and ships and sealing wax Of cabbagges and kings And while the sea is boiling hot And wheather pigs have wings Kaloo Kalay come run away With the cabbagges and kings Now ah, let me see Ah! A loaf of bread is what we cheerly need (And how about some pepper, salt and vinagar?) Ah yes yes of course of course Now oysters dear, if you are ready We shall begin the feed (Feed! ) Oh yes ah, the time has come my little friends To talk of food and things (Of pepper corns and mustard seeds And other seasonings We'll mix 'em all together In a sauce that's made for kings Kaloo Kalay we'll eat today Like cabbagges and kings!) I, I weep for you I, oh excuse me I deeply simplisize For I've enjoyed you company Oh much more than you realize "Little oysters, little oysters?" But answer there came none And this was scarcly all because They'ed been eaten Every-one The time has come! Were cabbagges And kings! The End
