Oysters

There is a stall down by the dock Selling the freshest seafood stock. Creatures in shells, caught just offshore. Live oysters there for eating raw. Each one sealed up and watertight. To prise open it is a fight. Down in one, living flesh slither. Sudden burst of ocean flavour. Only these ones you eat alive If you expect to stay alive. Oysters help keep men in the pink As they contain a lot of zinc. Tis healthy food without a doubt. Best washed down with some Irish stout. Now Casanova knew the score, As he ate live oysters galore. He knew how to play a good game Eating fresh oysters without shame. There is a stall down by the dock Selling the freshest seafood stock.
