`` 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 so 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 sympathize . '' 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 that was scarcely odd , because They 'd eaten every one . ' '
I like the XXXXX best , ' said Alice : ` because you see he was a LITTLE sorry for the poor oysters . '
