The Drummer Crab

BY GUHANA P

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.
