Horseshoe crab,

you’re such a freak.

How did you not go to sleep-

like trilobites, all hard as rock-

how did you not share that fate.

 

They tell me freak’s an insult-

I tell them that it’s not-

they tell me I’m an asshole.

Horseshoe crab, you’re still alive.

 

Horseshoe crab,

you’re such a freak,

I bless you that distinction.

Most will never look your way,

much less will they praise you.

Horseshoe crab,

you’re such a freak,

you beautiful, beautiful freak.
