      Croak The Herald Hermits Sing
      (Hark the Herald Angels Sing)

      Croak the herald hermits sing
      We want food in the morning
      Roaming free and roaming wild
      In the humid climate mild
      Some are old and very wise
      Some are not but they do try
      With their slow motion
      Crabs are born in the ocean

       

       

      Jingle Shells (Jingle Bells)

      Jingle Shells, Jingle all the way
      Oh what fun is it to climb
      on a branch on Christmas Day - Hey!

      Dashing through the sand,
      on a winters day
      Over rocks they go,
      croaking all the way
      Croak! Croak! Croak!

      Shells on shells do clink
      Making spirits bright
      oh what fun it is to gather
      on a beach on christmas night!

       

      The First Jumbo Shell (The First Noel)

      The first jumbo shell the
      crabs did see
      was to fill them with excitment joy and glee
      In beaches where they played and excess shells did lay
      Where they danced all day then went their own way
      Jumbo shhhhheeeelllllll Jumbo Shelllllllllllll
      Jumbo shhhhheeeelllllll Jumbo Shelllllllllllll
      They croak thier song and they do it so well

      The Molt Before Christmas

      adapted *with great apology* from the poem
      by C.C. Moore

      T'was the night before Christmas,
      And in my crabitat;
      Not a hermie was stirring and
      Well, that was that.

      My pretties were silent,
      Buried in their sand beds.
      Inches of substrate,
      Covered their heads.

      My husband was snoring,
      As I sat by the glass.
      Watching for movement,
      Yet my hopes were dashed.

      I missed my dear hermies,
      Wouldn't you feel the same?
      So I called to them softly,
      Reciting their names:

      "Oh Rosie and Micro,
      O'toole and Tinker!
      Dear Gabriel and Grove,
      Augustus and Sphincter!"

      "Why are you buried?
      I feel so alone!
      I miss you my crabbies,
      Please molt and be done!"

      When in the ISO there
      Arose such a clatter!
      I whirled in my chair
      To see what was the matter.

      I reached to lamp,
      Snapping on the light.
      And peered in the tank,
      To check things were alright.

      The bulb cast shadows
      On driftwood and vine,
      I searched high and low
      For that crabby of mine.

      When, what appeared
      To my utter surprise?
      My micro Ecuadorian
      Stood before my eyes.

      His shell was still battered,
      The same one he had worn.
      Since I'd freed him from
      The petstore forlorn.

      His exo was shining,
      translucent and pink.
      And he was a bit smaller,
      As if he had shrinked.*

      His eyes were bright,
      As he was a relishin'
      A nourishing nosh on
      His old exoskeleton!

      I just had to smile
      As my spirits did lift.
      Micro had given me,
      The best Christmas gift!

      So to all crab-caregivers,
      Wher'er you be tonight.
      Happy Holidays to all,
      And to all...goodnight!

      --A.K.

       
       
       

      WE THREE CRABS

      (sung to the tune of We Three Kings of Orient are)

      We three crabs of crabitat shore
      wearing our shells we travel so far
      Sand and mountains, huts and fountains
      Whatever you bought at the store!

      CHORUS:
      Ooooh! ooooh! Crabs of wonder, crabs of night!
      Crabs that are our pure delight!
      With their needings are pocketbooks are bleeding!
      But our love for them makes it all right!

      Born a crab in Ecuador,
      traveled far to the pet store
      Bad conditions, fake renditions
      of my beach home by the shore

      CHORUS:
      Ooooh! ooooh! Crabs of wonder, crabs of night.
      Crabs that are our pure delight
      With their needings are pocketbooks are bleeding!
      But our love for them makes it all right!

      Now they are happy in our home
      Bought them a friend so they weren't alone
      Temps just right, even warm at night!
      We treat them like they are gold!

      Chorus again...

      Glorious when we see them arise!
      From their molts with big bright dark eyes
      Feelers that flutter hello to mother
      What a happy surprise!

      CHORUS:
      Ooooh! ooooh! Crabs of wonder, crabs of night.
      Crabs that are our pure delight
      With their needings are pocketbooks are bleeding!
      But our love for them makes it all right!

      I think I'll stop now! :)

      Merry Christmas!
