Ode to the Olympia Oyster 



by Jay Bolster 

 ■Pioneer Olvimpia Poet 



Of all the palate pleasing foods 

 Thai spring from land and, sea 

 There s no food so dee-licious 

 As the oyster is to me. 



I read a lot of literature 

 On oysters in m,y quest 

 Determined I would find a type 

 That outclassed all the rest. 



I read Paul Bunyans Diary 

 And learned that Paul had found 

 The super oyster of the Gods 

 While digging Pugei Sound. 



He called it the Olympia 

 And coined a word specific 

 Describing the Olympia 

 As simply **0\)sieriffic. 



At last mp search ivas ended 

 Food of the Cods Vd found 

 The nearest place to Paradise— 

 ''Olympia,''* Pugei Sound. 



And so I settled down to stay 



In this land of the blest. 



Here in this Northwest Wonderland 



To work and play and rest. 



And eat this oyster of the Cods 

 Which grows in Pugei Sound. 

 With the *'oysierrific* flavor 

 For there's no place else it's found.
