The Drummer Crab





A couplet



Me, an innocent little hermit crab,

Looking for a new snug shelter to grab.


I search the dunes of sand, high and low,

Looking for a home that can bear a blow.


Not very long I spy a dog,

And wedge into the crevice of a log.


Me, an innocent little hermit crab,

Looking for a new snug shelter to grab.


I set out with energy anew,

With my pincers out in view.


I see a seagull soaring high,

That made me give an exasperated sigh.


I crept into a crushed cola can,

Which was as hot as a pan.


Me, an innocent little hermit crab,

Found a new home to dab.


Cling clang ! That’s me all alone,

Making music with my claws in my new metal home.
