Sidney Beck Poet Verse

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”
