Lewis Carroll for the 21st Century

The Walrus and the Carpenter

“We have eaten all the oysters,”
the Carpenter proclaimed.
The Walrus looked around to see
no single one remained.
“They were so plump and tasty, though,
we hardly can be blamed.”

The Walrus and the Carpenter
walked off along the sand,
then all at once they noticed they
were walking hand in hand.
Although, as to the reason why,
they did not understand.

And then the Walrus turned to speak,
but knew not what to say.
Perhaps a word or two about
the strangeness of their day.
“I’m worried,” said the Carpenter,
“I think we might be gay.”

“That’s not so bad,” the Walrus said,
“in fact, it might be fun.”
“Let’s stop right here upon the sand
And make love in the sun.
But when he turned to face his friend,
The Carpenter had gone.

Re: Lewis Carroll for the 21st Century

That's another good one. I'm really enjoying this sudden surge of literacy brilliance from all the contributors.

Well I have to admit to riding on the back of Lewis Carroll for this one, Fruitcake.

Perhaps I should re-write Alice in Wonderland for him next, ST. I wonder if he would appreciate that.
