BJ’s Bio


The Walrus and the Carpenter
  Were walking close at hand;
They wept like anything to see
  Such quantities of sand:
“If this were only cleared away,”
  They said, “it would be grand!”

“If seven maids with seven mops
  Swept it for half a year,
Do you suppose,” the Walrus said,
  “That they could get it clear?”
“I doubt it,” said the Carpenter,
  And shed a bitter tear.

“O Oysters, come and walk with us!”
  The Walrus did beseech.
“A pleasant walk, a pleasant talk,
  Along the briny beach:
We cannot do with more than four,
  To give a hand to each.”

The eldest Oyster looked at him,
  But never a word he said:
The eldest Oyster winked his eye,
  And shook his heavy head—
Meaning to say he did not choose
  To leave the oyster-bed.
