Three Bites at the Oyster

THE LITTLE OYSTER
I am a little oyster
All white and grey and pink
And full of good nutrition
I have heard that people think
With fifty nine trace elements
And quite a lot of zinc
I'm just a little oyster though
And don't care what they think.

DIVINE WELLNESS
"Hello dear, I'm calling up to find out where you are!"
"Oh! I'm just about to get into this oyster-bed-cum-spa,
It's meant to be relaxing and healthgiving; yes, bizarre!
And you get two dozen oysters and free access to the bar!"

FOR PLINY
The learned Elder Pliny knew
When constipated what to do
The following treatment worked just fine:
Oysters boiled in honey wine.

Sorry Pliny for putting that in
It has more gravitas in Latin.
