Oyster Roast
The clumps are placed atop the grate
And fire is lit below.
Soon steam will form in empty space.
The process seems too slow.
While tender morsels slowly roast
The beer and coke flows free.
Camaraderie is displaced,
when open shells you see.
common ballad

only line 2 and 4 have to Rhyme in each 4 lines.
