Crab Dance

there once was a crab from the pacific
whos lovemaking prowess was terrific
he had so many offspring
was the most amazing thing
for no other crab was more prolific

the other crabs were so jealous you know
they followed him wherever he would go
they watched his fancy love dance
snapping claws during romance
Boy oh boy did he sure put on a show

the first stanza had some great funny rhymes with Pacific. I asked for only one limerick; otherwise you may have scored higher with this cute writing.
