Meet Mr. Crabworthy

Mr. Crabworthy

Hermit Crab
Hermit Crab

He's a friendly sort

I bought some hermit crabs on Ebay

My thought was petstores get their hermit crabs in the mail so it must be okay

So in the mail they came

The seller had just tossed them in a box with some balls of newspaper

So they bounced and jounced all the way from whence they came

And some were dead

Some died within the hour

I felt horrible

I left the seller some nasty feedback

He left me some nasty feedback

Then he closed his shop

One of the crabs was way bigger than the others

He was the only one that made it longer than six months

For years he didn't have a name

Then one day I told him to quit making so much noise

I said, "Stop making all that noise Mr. Crabworthy!"

He likes to clunk things around in his house

The other day he lost some of his claws

I guess he shed them and got new ones

Way to go Mr. Crabworthy

I need to get him a new bigger shell

Come to think of it, how do I know he's not a girl?

He shed his claws

Mr. Crabworthy finds a new shell to live in.
