The Week of the Walrus & (ABC)

     A 

The walrus and the ampersand's 

departure caus'd a fuss. 

"Rock bottom in old ABCs*

is not the spot for us," 
the walrus warn'd. "Our flight's been 

cancelled...? Basta! Board the bus!" 

*Early ABCs often follow'd Z with &.

     B 

The walrus and the bathysphere, 

upon the latter's whim, 

parade along the boardwalk. 

Words absurd are heard from him: 

"Bide near, my dear! Don't veer, d'you hear; 

know well* you: I can't swim." 

*Does the phrase suggest this  

conversation occurs during the 

Xmas season...?

     C 

The walrus and the conflagration 

strode; the walrus spoke: 

"With such a blaze, one seal might raze 

whole shtetls -- that's no joke. 

How grand to rid our land of Yid --

yea, ALL unwelcome folk!"
