a tiny creature with a faithful heart,
he was always eager to do his part.
summoned by his mistress for an evil deed,
the crab sought out a hero destined to lead.
as Hercules strove for the hydra to slay,
the little creature prepared to darken his day.
with pincers and claws as hard as steel,
this diminutive animal nipped the man’s heel.
tragically crushed ‘neath our hero’s large feet,
this faithful servant went, his fate to meet.
as a reward for service so filled with might,
this crab lives forever to light our night.
