Answer to the White Queen's Riddle

The answer to "The White Queen's Riddle" seems to be some kind of shellfish, probably an oyster or a clam.


An ironic and unexpected twist that was shown in "The Walrus and the Carpenter" was the fact that all of the oysters end up getting eaten. We, as readers, were unaware of this fact until the very end of the story, when the Carpenter received no response.

Have I Not Striven




"I Can Only Imagine"
by Mercy Me
____________________________

I can only imagine 
What it will be like 
When I walk 
By your side 

I can only imagine 
What my eyes will see 
When your face 
Is before me 
I can only imagine 

[Chorus:]
Surrounded by Your glory, what will my heart feel 
Will I dance for you Jesus or in awe of you be still 
Will I stand in your presence or to my knees will I fall 
Will I sing hallelujah, will I be able to speak at all 
I can only imagine 

I can only imagine 
When that day comes 
And I find myself 
Standing in the Son 

I can only imagine 
When all I will do 
Is forever 
Forever worship You 
I can only imagine

[Chorus]

I can only imagine [x2]

I can only imagine
When all I will do 
Is forever, forever worship you

Love Similes

Love is such a beautiful thing,
For it is much more than a new diamond ring.
It comes from somewhere deep inside,
First you must push aside all that conceit and pride.
But I myself have dug my way through,
To the other side full of something all so new;
A feeling that I have never felt before,
For my love for thee is growing more and more.

I love thee like a shining light,
For you have saved me through the darkest night.
I love thee like a freeing dart,
For you have punctured my loveless heart.
Watch it closely as it oozes,
All the hate from my internal cuts and bruises.
I love thee like a Happy Meal,
So good and yummy, let's seal the deal!

I love thee like a sunny day,
For we can go outside for fun and play.
I love thee like the rain and sun,
For I am a flower, and I depend on the special one.
Shower me with water and I will grow,
And the love for thee I will always show.
Shine the rays of love upon me,
So that I can blossom and will always love thee.
