A cantankerous crab thought his cleverness was ultimate,
By dancing to a Shelly snail to emulate,
At that side of his mind was the plans to mutilate,
But the Shelly snail thought it was all a game to jubilate,
Then in her merriment she felt a grip on her neck,
And in distress she shrink but rather too late to check,
There in pieces laid her skin in slimy smooth,
The crab composed and smile from a corner mouth,
Then from no way a nail broke through his shell,
A hunter boy pick it up with a yell,
Silly crab! i caught him as if he is ill,
The crab had no sensation ,
That life is full of in-expectations.
