Scuttling Crabs

by adewpearl


We scuttle like those crabs who scoot
from gulls who'd make them dinner,
but for each time we take the lead
there's other cause to skitter.

Like squirrels keen to hoard their nuts,
we scramble, whirl and scurry,
but in the end what have we stored? --
Just pocketfuls of worry.

scuttle, scoot, skitter, scramble, scurry - all synonyms - I didn't manage to fit in scamper :-)
Something light after a couple days of heavy
Pays one point and 2 member cents.
