The Oyster Girl

THE OYSTER GIRL I wonder if you know my girl To me she is my oyster pearl She has my heart all in a whirl Her name I will not tell Though you may pay me, churl or earl, My secret I’ll not sell . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .. . Entered in Dr. Ram Mehta’s Contest “Rime Couee”
