The Oyster is my World

Happily buried under the sands of time
In a world where sloth is hardly a crime
I see a stupid contraption descend
It flaps and traps my hapless friend

In brilliant blues and glistening greens
These primitive patchy philistines
Amateur seekers of undeserved riches
Deserving of German submarines

I dig deeper to escape attention
But I wasn't made for slick deception
It grabs me too, it breaks my house
And Adam's ale can aught but douse

The embers of this holocaust
And of a world forever lost
Bury my pride but wear me proud
I'm priceless at a heavy cost
