The Ass and the Crab
An ass keeps crabbing against a crab
that has just dug a manhole nearby,
concerned about rumors that might fly,
tarnishing his reputation thereby,
for when folks ponder, ask in wonder
about that dark hollow in the ground
and see in the vicinity only him
and no one else around,
they'll surely wink and snicker, and rib
each other with a question so crass:
Prithee, what do you call that hole
obviously belonging to that ass?
Indeed, when folks have finally made up
their minds and mouths about you,
no finger-pointing will ever do,
the damage done you can't undo !
