ABout a vacation and a crab
Florida Key Catastrophe

The blue sea called to me,
So I traveled to the Florida Keys.

The sun baked on me like an oven,
The ocean was warm and that I was lovin’.

That’s when a crab came and pinched my toe.
Now this fiery fella had become my foe.

At that moment it ran away,
Now that little crab will pay.

I kicked, I screamed, I bellowed,
But I could not catch that crabby fellow.

That crab was faster than a cheetah.
“Look at him fly!” yelled old Aunt Rita.

Finally, my foot came down on his head,
The seagulls cawed, for they would be fed.

I yelled my fearsome victory cry,
At last I knew that I would not die.

Then again the blue sea called to me,
So I went for a swim in the Florida Keys.
