OYSTER S(HELL)

So the shell is smooth, and pinkly rainbow?

(said: 
The shell is smooth inside, but hard, strong, ugly,
Not smooth on the outside) 

Felt the shell: 
"This is the stuff they said 
The gates of heaven are made of..." 

Thought: 
"If I were an oyster I would not be in heaven 
Locked in a s(hell)."

You said: 
"Want to be hurt?" 

I would rather be hurt than 
Be cl(oystered) in a s(hell) 
 

Said: 
"I will consent to this confinement if 

(said: 
"If the shell is pinkly rainbow 
Where's the treasured end? ...) 

Said: 
"I will consent to this confinement if 

(Thought: 
"Are the gates of heaven ugly, not smooth on the Outside?) 

If you please:
Irritate me sandily (annually, granularly) 

(Pearl?)
