The Walrus and the Carpenter
The eldest Oyster looked at him,
But never a word he said:
The eldest Oyster winked his eye.
And shook his heavy head –
Meaning to say he did not choose
To leave the oyster-bed.
But four young Oysters hurried up,
All eager for the treat:
Their coats were brushed, their faces washed.
Their shoes were clean and neat –
And this was odd, because you know,
They hadn’t any feet.
Four other Oysters followed them,
And yet another four:
And thick and fast they came at last,
And more, and more, and more –
All hopping through the frothy waves,
And scrambling to the shore.
The Walrus and the Carpenter Walked on a mile or so,
And then they rested on a rock
Conveniently low:
And all the little Oysters stood
And waited in a row.
“The time has come,” the Walrus said,
“To talk of many things:
Of shoes – and ships – and sealing wax –
Of cabbages – and kings –
And why the sea is boiling hot –
And whether pigs have wings.” “But wait a bit,” the Oysters cried,
“Before we have our chat;
For some of us are out of breath,
And all of us are fat!”
“No hurry!” said the Carpenter.
They thanked him much for that.

“A loaf of bread,” the Walrus said,
“Is what we chiefly need:
Pepper and vinegar besides
Are very good indeed –
Now if you’re ready, Oysters dear,
We can begin to feed.”
“But not on us!” the Oysters cried,
Turning a little blue.
“After such kindness, that would be
A dismal thing to do!”
“The night is fine,” the Walrus said.
“Do you admire the view?”
“It was kind of you to come!
And you are very nice!”
The Carpenter said nothing but,
“Cut us another slice:
I wish you were not quite so deaf –
I’ve had to ask you twice!”
“It seems a shame,” the Walrus said,
“To play them such a trick,
After we’ve brought them out so far,
And made them trot so quick!”
The Carpenter said nothing but,
“The butter’s spread too thick!”
“I weep for you,” the Walrus said:
“I deeply sympathise.”
With sobs and tears he sorted out
Those of the largest size,
Holding his pocket-handkerchief
Before his streaming eyes.
“O Oysters,” said the Carpenter,
“You’ve had a pleasant run!
Shall we be trotting home again?”
But answer came there none –
And this was scarcely odd, because
They’d eaten everyone.

Reveal Explainer
The eldest Oyster acts differently from the younger Oysters, who are eager to join the Walrus on his walk. He ‘winked his eye’, suggesting he may understand more than the others and is wise and cautious. He also ‘shook his heavy head’, refusing the Walrus’s invitation. The phrase ‘heavy head’ could suggest seriousness or concern, implying that he senses something is wrong and chooses not to go.
