>LESSONS FROM AN OYSTER
>
> "There once was an oyster
> Whose story I tell,
> Who found that some sand
> Had got into his shell.
>
> It was only a grain,
> but it gave him great pain.
> For oysters have feelings
> Although they're so plain.
>
> Now, did he berate
> the harsh workings of fate
> That had brought him
> To such a deplorable state?
>
> Did he curse at the government,
> Cry for election,
> And claim that the sea should
> Have given him protection?
>
> ‘No,' he said to himself
> As he lay on a shell,
> Since I cannot remove it,
> I shall try to improve it.
>
> Now the years have rolled around,
> As the years always do,
> And he came to his ultimate
> Destiny – stew.
>
> And the small grain of sand
> That had bothered him so
> Was a beautiful pearl
> All richly aglow.
>
> Now the tale has a moral,
> for isn't it grand
> What an oyster can do
> With a morsel of sand?
>
> What couldn't we do
> If we'd only begin
> With some of the things
> That get under our skin.
