Guest Starring Eddy the Crab!
"guest posting Dennis"
Eddy was a hermit crab
He never came out of his shell
Eddy, he was shellfish
You know him very well
His peers just down the sandy beach
Found him to be crabby
Was it just his stone-washed genes
That made him so unhappy?
throw your thoughts at this one folks!

guest posting dennis? like dennis easton dennis?
Thanks for posting this Todd.
My vision for this particular poem is that there could be a series of characters with various character flaws to make up future verses. I would welcome any contributions along the same metre and ambience.
Yes, indeed it is. I had heard from Luke Dent that you have been living in the Peterborough are and hanging around the Trent students. It's nice to see that you are doing well.

i like how this poem begins almost sing-songingly, as if it was a forgotten nursery rhyme.
but in your fourth verse when the second-person pronoun is used, it really draws the readers into something that they would otherwise find difficult to relate to (i.e. nursery rhymes)
i like how he "peers" at the beach--it seems like what a crabby person would do, in my opinion.
i likey it!
