First Line: I sat me down at leisure
Last Line: "and left, -- 'twas ""oysters two!"
Subject(s): Boredom; Ennui
I SAT me down at leisure;
The ready waiter flew,
My order took suavely,
And shouted, "Oyster stew!"
The steaming dish was waiting,
The ready waiter flew;
Then rose I up in anger,
And left, -- 'twas "oysters two!"
