honey came in and she caught me red-handed
evolving toward a crablike form
picture this: we become crustaceans
walking on the ocean floor
how could I forget how I have longed to crawl into the sea?
all this time walking on the land has never done a thing for me

how you can-a live your whole life as a fleshy primate?
dishes and employment and the changing of the climate
reading of the politics & economic crime rate
why not give your evolutionary nature a new try, mate?

to be a crab king you have to know how to crab
scuttle in the ocean, scuttle on the land
shell across your back and pincer for your hand
and once you turn crab you'll never turn back

but she caught me carcinizing (become a crab)
she saw me molting by the dresser (become a crab)
she said it wasn't so surprising (become a crab)
it's even in the fossil record! (become a crab)

she saw me scuttle through the office (become a crab)
heard I pinched a couple bosses (become a crab)
they terminated my employment (become a crab)
but now I'm living in the ocean (become a crab)

@nash honey came in and she caught me red-pincered
Wanting to become a crab
@nash climate + primate has me weeping tears of joy
@nash this is like if they actually dropped the casper slide pt 3
@nash Can't wait for October 2027, this is ageing marvellously.
now we need some folks to record the lyrics
@nash
@nash (i couldn't resist making this thing but did you have an existing tune in mind for these lyrics?)
@ranjit haha, I love it. the original song I was parodying is "It Wasn't Me" by Shaggy, so it did take me a few listens to get out from trying to fit the words to Shaggy's tune, but yours has some great crab party energy to it
@nash you'll never turn baaaack
@nash
🎵 How could I forget this was developmental destiny? / The whole time I was standing on two legs it wasn’t meant to be 🎵
@nash so she caught you learning #Rust?
@nash perhaps the greatest piece ever wrote.
@nash i don't know how to say this, but I think this might be genius level work... stunning to witness... i'm only half joking

@nash

Didnt TS Eliot write a poem about that?
