They say that the crab, is crabby,
but most days, the crab is happy,
into the shell,
oh, what the hell,
crabby comes out, and starts snapping
sea

draconian dilemma decreed deliberately
encouraging enthusiasm eventuality
feeling feckless and ferocious, frivolously

I'M Feeling Kinda of Crabby Today

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'.

Charlotte Gets Tough With Miss Muffet

Said contrary and crabby Miss Muffet
“Hey eight-legs! Kiss my bare Tuffet!” 
From above and beyond, Charlotte dropped a fine line
And bit the old bag where the sun doesn’t shine…

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

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

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

Premium Member cranky crabby great grandpa Lou

he is snappish, waspish, crusty too
also cranky, my great grandpa Lou
people’s ideas make him dour
even to grandma, he is quite sour

we wonder what made him this way
he’s a grumpy grouch who does not play
I never met his mother Lily Sue
but I have heard she was depressed and blue

Premium Member Goddesses One Gods Zero

The ancient Gods – Hades, Zeus, Jupiter, Poseidon did not know what to do.
They could not control the goddesses, and this made them crabby and blue.
The Goddesses laughed at their “master’s confusion. Let me laugh here.
In feminine “collusion” they made these whipped call them honey and dear.

Premium Member Wacky

I can tell that the stars are unhappy
and I know why the moon's acting crabby
‘cause they know you won't call
And it's bothering us all
I'm sorry that I behaved badly

The day won't go on without you
The clouds have been crying all day
I've expressed my regrets
please forgive and forget
‘cause even Alexa's gone wacky

Couch Pleiades Not For Contest

C r a z y  Cate just had a
   C-section. Crabby, she
      couldn’t control her moods.
         Catatonic one night, 
            careless me stole her cloaks!
               Can’t I be cutely flawed?
                  Couch became my man cave.

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!

Premium Member Saying Honey In a Mean Way

There is a certain way to say "honey" that is in no way sweet.
A mean, cranky, crabby, put-you-down sort of way.
I did not know this until today.
When I heard a teacher using “honey” incorrectly.
Not an endearment the way she said it.
The whole class was listening.
I wonder if she calls her honey “honey” in this way.
I have always steered clear of her.
This practice will not change.

She's Finally At Peace

Never once, did she complain
She was always happy
Joked around and had fun
Very rarely was she crabby

Sat in her wheelchair 
Day after day
Found out she had cancer 
Wondered how much longer she'd stay

She fought everyday 
Until she passed away
Now she's in a better place
For angel took her to heaven to stay

She will be missed
By family and friends, too
Now no longer in pain
Because it's finally through.

Premium Member Who Lives Here

Who lives here? Asked Crabby Hat, a magical cat.
She had turned herself tiny like an overgrown gnat.
I hope it’s a juicy mole, a tasty vole or a chewable rat
Said her sister, a big eater, Miss Tabby Brat. 

It’s just an old troll, said an interloper who had been spying.
He is not fond of cats at all, unless they are dying. 
Crabby Hat and Tabby Brat got big and faded up and away.
I guess you got rid of two more said the troll who was gray.

That Crack We Call Love

your(my) breath in break
Your(my) heart in beak
Our eyelids blink blink
Though the light of noon
We are blind 
Totally blind
Ease and bless
For our souls
But crabby mad
For our minds
So that
That crack we call love
We call love
We need love
We shout love
Whispering love
Smiling love
Crying love
Sing for love
Dreaming love
Fight for love
Live for love
Die for love
Love for love
Life for love
Love for life
And all that
Crack
You call
I call
We call
Love

Halloween Moon

Halloween Moon Crabs


A tide rises to leave behind hundreds of tossed colourful halloween moon crabs to stroll

Craving social connections like homeless souls furtively hunting their unsown roots

Celtic calendar hides matronly lunar freeing guised children and bodiless souls

Five more years for the halloween moon, till then crabby purple claws in orange suits
