Crow and Crab
Crow and crab
 both tried to grab
 a fish lying in sand
that fell from hand
of a little fisherman
while boarding a van.

Crab made the hit
 crow tried to snatch it
 there a quarrel started
they kicked and thwarted
 fish got trampled
for bits they scrambled.

Old owl heard a cry
he could only sigh
 crow had a stab
crab had lost an eye
both were hurt
both began to cry.

 Old owl was wise
 felt sad as they cried
but he did advise,
“This fish was a prize
you could’ve shared
only if you had cared.”

“You were both foolish
you were both inane
only if you were kind
and if you were sane
fish you could’ve shared
and not suffered this pain”

Crow and crab
were hurt and sad
 what they had done
 was foolish and bad
they could only cry
 they could not be glad.
