The Oystermen and the Showman

They tore t first the music halls of europe, telling their story. Then in the dime museums back in their adopted home. They drew big audiences for a while. It didn't last. Maybe people just moved on to the next thing,. or maybe they just weren't that good at this part of the plan. And i have my own questions. How is the tea after you'd climbed up out of the fox, up some swinging ladder to a proper ship with dry blankets below deck? How did that tea feel on your tongue, in your belly? How did your rowboat look down below, waiting in the water?"
