Dig Those Clams

Dig Those Clams

“It’s watches out,” the walrus cried,
“or you’ll trip among the dunes.
Beat down the sand with happy soles,
keep time with merry tunes.”

They danced beneath a clam-bake sun,
through the hot-sauce afternoon,
until their numbers all ran out.
How did it get so late so soon?

8 lines of nonsense poesy (with apologies to Lewis Carroll)

Must use this quote from Dr. Seuss: How did it get so late so soon?
May not use: tick, tock, minute(s), hour(s), year(s), or birthday.
