Mothers of pearls.
I shucked the oyster
Spreading the fleshy outer shell.
If there was a pearl in there
I coulld not yet tell.
You know you can discern a real pearl from a fake by rubbing it against your teeth.
With probing fingers and hungry lips
my jewellers mounth ready to appraise.
Her oyster hid the most magnificent pearl.
Spreading the fleshy outer shell.
If there was a pearl in there
I coulld not yet tell.
You know you can discern a real pearl from a fake by rubbing it against your teeth.
With probing fingers and hungry lips
my jewellers mounth ready to appraise.
Her oyster hid the most magnificent pearl.
