Premium Member creepy crabby cruella

creepy crabby Cruella was a cracking crackpot
criticizing creatures until they cringed on the spot
cruel and crosswise, Cruella earned exactly what she got
a crazy, crusty, crotchety old man who smoked yesterday’s pot

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 he had lost a gem
A gorgeous moonstone necklace, given to him.

Some tried to help, but he shooed them away
He was not in the mood to be nice or play
But we want to help the other crows said.
A murder of crows singing over his head.


Premium Member crabby and crusty

rantankerous attitude
vinegarish and waspy
crabby and crusty

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 face


As the pails contents
Scramble and roil
And the water before them
Comes to a boil


They gleefully chortle 
To this hope that is mine
Don't be afraid the water is fine


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 cheer
Now it is just hate and fear
That's infecting our whole town
Someone needs to knock you down
On your butt and make you see
All this angry misery
Isn't good for anyone
You are like a loaded gun
Shooting remarks at your friends
We just want to help you  mend
Erasing all the torture which
Turned you into a huge B--ch

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 big as did cabbages.
He had read the Chines collected stuff dried it and
Made it into powder and sold for strawberry farmers.
He had a shower and shaved, used proper blades
no electric shaver for him, he hadn`t drunk coffee
yet and was cranky.

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 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 of meat and live crabs on Eighth Avenue and West 43rd Street
The Receptionist was going to eat good that night was going to be a treat
The Butcher put 8 Live crabs in the bag
It’s a wonder that none of the crabs had to gag
So walked to 6th Avenue to catch the D train
The continued story gets to be even more insane
One of the crabs escaped out
Some of the passengers made big scream shout
You can imagine in what I am talking about
It was dinner on the run
This was a live crab raw and not even cooked done
I told the Receptionist, there goes your dinner after it
When the Receptionist got home, she cooked those crabs until they were done
But before that, they fought out the bag
It sounds more like they were playing tag
There’s the sea food tail, crabs in their crabby ways, and I will never forget on that day.

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

I'M Feeling Kinda of Crabby Today

as the low tide sets
                                           sand bubbler emerge burrow
                                                      quickly sifting grains

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 what I say, 
I’ll adore you anyway!
You’ll always be my love, Tabby!
