"Oh, the time, it has come, to discuss many things,
Of sneakers, canoes, and of cabbage and kings,"
Said the walrus who stood on the dry ocean shore
To the carpenter and to the oysters galore.
And those poor little oysters how they all did cry
As they realized that lunchtime did swiftly draw nigh...

Nov 8, 2009 | It's "The Walrus and the Carpenter" by Lewis Carroll...I don't recall if it's part of Alice, Through The Looking Glass, or just a stand alone piece of silliness.
