The sea, once it casts its spell,
holds one in its net of wonder forever.

The bottle cap crab


Scuttling around,
On the beach for a shell,
Finding a home,
To suit him well.

The hermit crab looks,
And the hermit crab seeks,
The hermit crab peers,
The hermit crab peeks,
Until he finds,
A shiny clear shell.

"What's this?"
He says,
"Oh this is quite swell!
This is a great home,
As far as I can tell!"

He adjusts it to himself,
And thinks, oh so bright,
I believe I will sleep.
Safe,
And comfortable tonight.
