A would-be Cassanova,
finally got a date,
With the beauty of his dreams,
Who he hoped would be his mate.
He chose a fancy restaurant,
Bought the finest of champagnes,
To ensure the best of evenings,
He took the greatest pains.
The first course oysters did not thrill,
They made his date deathly ill.

Oh poor Cassanova! Raw oysters are not for me either..
ReplyDeleteBummer - I guess "will you..."
ReplyDeleteis going to have to wait
the question is how long
great one - hope all is well in the bay
Ugh. Raw oysters. I wouldn't have been impressed, either. I'd rather eat clams.
ReplyDeleteI wonder how raw oysters got their reputation as an aphrodisiac. Do you have any idea, Carmen?

ReplyDeletePoor guy. Who'd guessed she had shellfish allergies. Good one.
ReplyDeleteShe should have smothered them in horseradish! It would have cleaned her clock very well. Or maybe a vodka shooter?
ReplyDeleteYou know Carmen....... it has dawned upon me that oysters really do look like vaginas! ..
ReplyDeleteEOW!! Poor guy... but worse still, POOR HIS DATE!!! Jeez.. I wonder if he'll get his 2nd chance...
ReplyDeleteEnjoyed this one.. (and that's cuz I am not allergic to oysters :-))
Oysters and champagne only work for me if I already want the person. :-)
ReplyDeleteVery witty. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI never seafood in the way this hapless guy did.
