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 Walrus best , ' said Alice : ` because you see he was a LITTLE sorry for the poor oysters . ' ` He ate more than the Carpenter , though , ' said Tweedledee . ` You see he held his handkerchief in front , so that the Carpenter could n't count how many he took : contrariwise . ' ` That was mean ! ' Alice said indignantly .
` Then I like the XXXXX best -- if he did n't eat so many as the Walrus . '
