I'm Coming...
Out of My Shell

OUT OF MY SHELL
I'm just a crayfish in a bag they bought for Christmas dinner I would have been a tasty treat and made their meal a winner But I was left there, by the fridge the bag without a label And no-one gave a second glance I never graced the table No lousy damn acknowledgement Don't care if I sound petty This shafted shell-fish in a bag was getting hot and sweaty They laughed and joked and all the while ignored the bagged crustacean So soon I started simmering in tangerine frustration Their celebration came and went unnoticed bag a'brewing My juices turned, my meat would taint i.e. internal stewing... Later... If only they could understand I'm no good left in plastic If only they had thought to look I would've been fantastic If only I could warn them that my epiderm is oozing If only they'd just spared a thought as they continued boozing They passed me thirty times or more that afternoon in question Quite surely now, I'm way past go and may prompt indigestion Well all of them can go to hell the bag has started leaking Unfortunately, this will be the last time that I'm speaking I'm just a bag of crayfish that was passed by and forgotten But give it just a week or two They'll find me once I'm rotten!

A VERY true story from a few years back. LOL
We certainly enjoyed the Christmas dinner but NOT the poor crayfish.
Don't worry though, he had his revenge. About a week or so later I just could NOT put my finger on the smell
emulating from somewhere and taking over the whole darn house.
After searching high and low in every room for what I thought was cat p*ss, I found a putrid orange crayfish slushy leaking
out of the plastic bag next to the fridge.
I honestly think if someone had kicked the bag we WOULD have found him MUCH sooner. LOL
This WAS a very memorable Christmas peppered with the smell of rotten crayfish.
"Stink-bomb" will long be remembered.
For the record I've never had a desire for crayfish and after this particular Christmas NEVER will.
Thanks for reading and I DO hope you weren't chowing down on a meal or some form of liquid snack...
