Rock a Fella

the meaningless sing of the song "I am the Walrus" makes me hungry to selfishly eat my fill of shellfish i see but with a bib i'd be the walrus not Paul and if eating when ever any are at hand then the carpenter i'd be so with no motive i see no relegiosity to attempt to interpret what tweedledee and tweedledumb said in form in front of alice so alas i may have a cup of tea with a dozen clams with out a chance of ever finding a pearl in any of these but it's you who are Venus on a half shell and i can tell by sight you'd be quite a tasty treat

...as the song is fading out you can hear someone speaking. The dialogue is from Shakespeare's, or Francis Bacon's, "King Lear".

Thank you Ann. I love writing whimsies. Lewis Carroll, and the Beatles (a reference made way back in their song "Paperback Writer") where, I'm sure it was Lennon through in the name "Lear", Edward that is; plus, though Lennon admitted the meaningless lyrics of "Walrus", it is interesting at the end...
