Disclaimer: This is my first attempt at a crab canon. I may have misunderstood how that works. 🤷 🤣😂⚡ It is definitely a haiku. (I think. If you combat nature, is it still considered a haiku?) ⚡ I gave it a Slam Poetry tag since it's uncomplimentary to crustaceans. No crabs were hurt during the making of this poem, but I'm not above smashing one with a baseball bat if I encounter one. I loathe seafood! Red Lobster should be as extinct as Ponderosa, in my opinion. But I suppose someone needs to clean out the oceans. To Each Their Own. As for the Fact or Fiction tag-- who knows? It coulda happened somewhere.🤷
