Show Oalgohr 1 1 'sr-1 The oyster, when all's done and said, Should please reformers one and all; Each twilight finds It in its bed, It never goes to rout"or ball; The lobster is the symbol of The life In which gay people roister-No roister-No wonder goodly people love The oyster. The oyster rather lives on drink, But not the sort that tints the nose . And makes the drinker gaily wink Or fills him full o varied woes. t quaffs but water, naught would mov It to a swallow that was moister. Hence prohibitionists approve The oyster. The oyster never cares to roam; It always keps the best of hours; In quietude and peace at home Its disposition never sours. Its meditations never cease; It Is no stress-and-trouble-hoister 3o praise, all advocates of peace, The oyster. The oyster never answers back, In gossip it does not indulge. Though it were placed upon the rack Its knowledge it would not divulge, Contentedly its days 'twould end Serene within its humble cloister Cm sure all of us should commend The oyster. |
