Sell Me Something

Sally sells seashells by the seashore

                    I sell conch shells door to door
                      The water whispers wildly
                       The scent is salted mildly

                       The protein packs a punch
                        The fritters have a crunch
                      The chowder, a favored lunch
        
                        If you cant get to the beach
                      A marvelous shell is within reach
                         Listen to the Ocean preach
                     
                            Paint me, Smell me 
                              Listen to my song
                         You will return to the beach 
                                It won't be long
                       $5.00 a shell has a lot to teach

A concha captures the song of the oceans.
