The Gatepost Vol. 10.6: A Sad Tale With a Happy Ending
Description
"A SAD TALE WITH A HAPPY ENDING
A muscular mussel
Was having a tussle
With a lobster most annoying.
"You cur, sir I
Infer, sir,
That the tactics you’re employing
Arc vicious,
Most officious,
And your claws I find too cloying I” “Cur, sir?
Defer, sir,
Your bitter accusation.
A claw (I find)
Is (to my mind)
The thing in disputation.
It cuts so clean and quick
With one decisive lick!
But on your hide, You chowder’s-pride, It will not work, I’ve found!" "Aba,” the clever clam replied, “It's ’cause I’m mussel-bound I”
