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.

You are absolutely right! LOL. The longer they walked the hungrier he became...
