Crabby Old Man
This poem was written by an old man who died in the geriatric
Ward of a nursing home in North Platte, Neb.  He left nothing 
Of  value, only this poem which I thought had a very strong
Message and wanted to share with you soupers.

Crabby Walking Through the Abbey
We are going on a trip to the British Isles
and Channel Island of Guernsey and Normandy.
This sure should be quite a cruise. Here is my
first poem I am writing about it even though I
have not been there yet. Here goes.

Crabby Tabby
The way that you’re crying,
You sound like you’re dying…
You can’t get enough of that food!

And then, when I feed you,
You say, “I don’t need you!”
And you’re in another bad mood!

Stop trying to bite me!
I think that you might be…
A little too cruel and crabby!

No matter...

Crabby
When wrinkles start appearing 
Getting deeper by the day
With liver spots accruing
And the hair is going grey 
The early morning aches and pains
A stomach growing flabby
The crows feet and the flatulence
No wonder you feel crabby...

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...

What a Crabby Day
To the fish market she'd been fetchin',
    Now her stomach linin' stretchin',
    Must have been the crabs she ate,
Three crustaceans gone from her plate,
        Now poor Grechin's rechin'....

Crabby Morning
Crabby morning

He looked down into the toilet bowl 
had shat and flushed, 80-year-old  going to waste
down a drain and into the sea.
70 years ago when he lived on a farm human and
Animal waste was used as a fertiliser the waste had
been useful potatoes grew...

Premium Member When I Get Crabby and Mean
Art, poetry, cartooning, gardening, and love of life keep me going.
When I want to give up, when I am depleted and defeated
I pull my resources together and we take a nap.
Replenishing ourselves in a couple of hours, so we can
wake up and spend time playing...

What Is Making You So Crabby
I'll give you a chance to explain
Why there's always so much pain
In your heart that you are spreading
There's always a storm that's heading
To everyone that you meet
You used to be so upbeat
Full of happiness and joy
Where is that fun loving boy
That was known for spreading...

Premium Member Comma the Crabby Crow
Comma, the crabby crow, was a curious bird
He collected aluminum, kind of absurd
Necklaces were swooped up in his beak
His cawing was louder than most bird speak

He was always moving, stomping around
When he was not flying, if he was on the ground
Frenzied and furious today, for...

Premium Member Night Crawler Nell a Crabby Courtesan
a crabby courtesan does not do well
when her meanness is seen by clientele
the one I knew named angry night crawler Nell
was so grouchy, she was a very hard sell
the Madame found her a new place to dwell
No one knows what happened to nasty old Nell...

The Abc's of Life
B follows A
And C proceeds D
It's a formula older than time

The lowest sink of
   debauchery to the ilks 
Of a sort seem sublime

A pail full of
Crabs
Will stay to the brim

Each holding the
Other
In place

That none should struggle
Perchance to escape
the fate some have 
Chosen to...
