A Very Smart Crab


Once there was a very red crab,

who was very good at his job.

Though he looked pretty drab,

he was a very good crab, who was always ahead of the mob.

 

One day his charge ran away,

got cursed and lost her voice and gained legs.

No matter what the crab begged, on land she must stay,

or else suffer with the rest of the cursed dregs.

 

But the crab was resourceful.

He knew what it takes.

He ran to the king, crying and remorseful,

who raged and screamed loud enough to create earthquakes.

 

Luckily for all King Triton was more powerful than the Sea Witch.

The princess was saved easily, and thus the crab’s plan went off without a hitch.
