Earl and His Pearl

there once was a sad mollusk named earl
who always lived in constant peril
when someone swam too close by
and flipped sand in his eye
he was forced to make a danged pearl

A pity for those who ever have had sand in their eye at beach that they can't get rich by making their own pearls. Excellent diversion from current topic. Hope you are safely bunkered down. Thanks again for your delightful piece, regards David in NZ

Hello Timothy … I'm no expert on pearls, but isn't this how cultured pearls are made these days. Thanks again Timothy - Lindsay
