Crabby Getaway

Yes you read the title right But let me shred some light It happened in 1980 when I worked on Madison Avenue The Receptionist was going to buy live crab for dinner Well as a friend would, I accompanied her We entered the Butcher, and there were array of kinds of meat and live crabs on Eighth Avenue and West 43rd Street The Receptionist was going to eat good that night was going to be a treat The Butcher put 8 Live crabs in the bag It’s a wonder that none of the crabs had to gag So walked to 6th Avenue to catch the D train The continued story gets to be even more insane One of the crabs escaped out Some of the passengers made big scream shout You can imagine in what I am talking about It was dinner on the run This was a live crab raw and not even cooked done I told the Receptionist, there goes your dinner after it When the Receptionist got home, she cooked those crabs until they were done But before that, they fought out the bag It sounds more like they were playing tag There’s the sea food tail, crabs in their crabby ways, and I will never forget on that day.
