Clam ah go-go

Manila and Cockles
                         oh the steamers oh the steamers
                                    Ensis and Razors
                          Carpet shell clams and Ynghylch
       Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch
                               A cold Read and Cattle call
                            The grounds have Karsted and 
                     surface waters have polluted our aquifers
                       one said that mussels had attached to the
                            pipes in his handdugged well
                                Gaius Suetonius Paulinus,
                                  the speak your name
                                          in Rome
                                  To mock the lovers'
                                          of clams
                                     Oysters: Oysters,
                                  The Worlds my Oyster
                                mountains and mountains
                                            we shuck
                                 The Squawking shuckers
                                         Bhah and grunt
                                      grinding the day away
                                     seagulls eager for lunch
                                swarm the skies and the ground
