I am crab
I live by the sea
The sand and salt
Are the essence of me
The tide and the moon
Control my mood
I am sharp witted
I don’t mean to be rude
With beady eyes
And my hard shell
I see everything
And I am stubborn as well
I scuttle around
From side to side
My direction unknown
An interesting ride
I devour anything
Lying around
A true scavenger
To be found
If the sea is heavy
I can do it tough
Seek out areas
Not so rough
If you take me away
From waters edge
I’ll cook in my shell
With thoughts that sledge
So next time your down
The ocean way
And you spot a crab
On a good day
Stop and think
About this write
An amuse yourself
About my plight .....
