Sea Shells by the Sea Shore
by Art Maine
with thanks to Terry Sullivan
She sells paintings of sea shells by the seashore.
The paintings of shells she sells are surely art of seashells.
So if she sells art of shells on the seashore,
I'm sure she sells seashore shells art now
since she's a retired speech therapist.
This is a parody of the well-known tongue twister which originated as a popular song in 1908 of the same title with words by British songwriter Terry Sullivan.
She sells sea shells by the seashore.
The shells she sells are surely seashells.
So if she sells shells on the seashore,
I'm sure she sells seashore shells.
It was written about Mary Anning, a British fossil collector, dealer, and paleontologist who became known around the world for a number of important finds she made in the Jurassic marine fossil beds at Lyme Regis in Dorset in the 1800s, where she lived. A painting of her by B.J. Donne is owned by the Sedgwick Museum, Cambridge England.
"A being of imagination - she has so many ideas and such power of communicating them." -Mrs. Stocks of Lyme, an early employer of Mary Anning, 1831
This also applies to the By the Sea Side artist today.
