Carmen The Oyster Shucker Poem by Howard Camner
Carmen The Oyster Shucker
Carmen shucks oysters
all day and all night
and from what I understand
she sure does it right
I've seen girls with dalmations, poodles and labs,
horses and zebras, and once with a crab
I thought I saw everything; heard everything too
and I'm sorry to say that Carmen's fetish is true
She picks up oysters at bars and strange places
and slides them into the most interesting spaces
Some pop out steamed, some boiled and smoked
and some with their poor little oyster hearts broke
So all I can say is, if Carmen's around and you're an oyster
get the shell out of town
