Krab Musings on the Circle of Life
by Dave Gorgonzolla / 2006

Bottom feeder! Imagine that.

The scum spewers call me that knowing full well
my diet of their filth and yet, am I not a delicacy?

Augmented with lemon and drawn butter
my succulent flesh has transformed their offal into something
awfully good. Why, even I want to eat myself.

The last laugh is mine though
as a shard of my exoskeleton snakes its way unlovingly
through their caked bowels.

"Ha!" I say.
