Dance Like a CrabSlept on a bed of mermaid tears.
Dreamt in mother of pearl and aquamarine.
In a jaded whirlpool of crystal rainbows
I grew fins and gills made of stained glass.
I swam for a million years without any rest.
Neptune's choir rang ocean bells.
while infinity just turned back the clock,...

River Crab,River CrabRiver crab , river crab,why do you not sleep?
I have opened my eyes to see the big and the small.
The mackerel that only sees the small sprat
And not the big shadow it casts on the river bank
Shall soon float in the smaller and hotter poll.

Hermit Crabhe left behind his home of coral
in search of better things,
breaking vows and flaunting morals,
cutting loose from tightening strings
trapped between the sea and land,
he scuttles 'cross an endless beach,
stranded on the burning sand,
he seeks a place he'll never reach
nirvana, no; nor heaven's gate
is...

Ode To a Horseshoe CrabI went down to the shore one day to sun and frolic and watch people play. There at a tidal pool a horseshoe crab did lay. With my foot I tapped his shell then came a shout out what the hell!
Can't you tell I'm...

Rival CrabThe fiddler crab waves his giant claw
A rival crab has got him beat
Small clawed female watches in awe
The fiddler crab waves his giant claw
Small clawed female stiffles a haugh
Unimpressed watches his defeat
The fiddler crab waves his giant claw
A rival crab has got him...

that reeked with a horribly rotten smell.

then resolved to move into a hotel.

My Best Friend CrabBack in our youth the biggest concerns were:
procuring our juvenile delinquent beer
were our nickle bags laced with paraquat...
where could get some easy ****...
and how we laughed our asses off
when our friend earned his nickname
by "snatching" the crabs from a skank-
But somehow it's more sinister...
