it would be grand! If seven maids ivith 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.69 THROUGH THE LOOKING-GLASS O Oysters, come and ivalk with us! The Walrus did beseech.A pleasant walk, a pleasant talk, Along the briny beach;We cannot do ivith 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. But four young Oysters hurried up, All eager for the treat;Their coats were brushed, their faces washed, Their shoes were clean and neat—And this ivas odd, because, yoii knoiv,They hadnt any feet. Four other Oysters followed them, And yet another four;And thick and fast they came at last, And more, and more, and more—All hopping through the frothy waves,And scrambling to the shore.70 S.S.

TH (DTTE TWEEDLEDUM AND TWEEDLEDEE The Walrus and the Carpenter Walked on a mile or so,And then they rested on a rock Conveniently low—And all the little Oysters stood And waited in a row. The time has come, the Walrus said, To talk of many things:Of shoes - - and ships — and sealing-wax— Of cabbages—and kings—And why the sea is boiling hot— And whether pigs have wings. But wait a bit, the Oysters cried, Before we have our chat;For some of us are out of breath, And all of us are fat!No hurry! said the Carpenter. They thanked him much for that. A loaf of bread, the Walrus said, Is what we chiefly need ;Pepper and vinegar besides Are very good indeed—Now, if youre ready, Oysters dear, We can begin to feed. THROUGH THE LOOKING-GLASS But not on us! the Oysters cried, Turning a little blue.After such kindness, that would be A dismal thing to do!The night is fine, the Walrus said. Do you admire the mew? It was so kind of you to come! And you are very nice!The Carpenter said no
