My Buddy the Crab

I took a walk with my buddy the crab, The sky was dark and rather drab, He was looking for a fresh fish to eat, And I was trying to escape the heat. As we walked I realized, A crab in a pot is a great prize, I took a walk with my buddy the crab, The sky was dark and rather drab, I was fixing a fresh crab to eat, And he was trying to escape the heat.

O this is clever! I really like the repetition in this short piece. It heightens the irony.
