Oh oyster, my oyster, in a shell, takes me away from feelings of hell.

Nutrients you provide, behind my shucking knife you hide.

Pearls.

I love you with lemon, I love you with Tabasco. I love you with mignonette and I’d love you through a fiasco.

Over ice, cool summer day. A dozen oysters takes my pain away.

In every country I travel, I order you. In Spain you surprised me, you often do.

The queen of the ocean, you make mermaids look bland. The key to my heart, I can hold in one hand.

Slurp.

Horseradish is your friend, the flavour’s impactful. The way you work, it almost feels tactful.

From Fanny Bay to Baynes Sound. Oysters, you make my world go round.
