O Oysters, come and walk with us!' The Walrus did beseech.
A pleasant walk, a pleasant talk, Along the briny beach:
We cannot do with more than four, To give a hand to each.'

The eldest Oyster looked at him, But never a word he said:
The eldest Oyster winked his eye, And shook his heavy head —
Meaning to say he did not choose To leave the oyster-bed.
