She lived in a cave like Atlantis,
While small she appears,
Anything that she spears
Will rue the day that they met this enchantress. pic.twitter.com/IBzaR10FZs -

Que buscaba un amorcito,
Nunca lo encontro,
Yen un platillo quedo,
Camaroncito riquito. pic.twitter.com/vxWXGlVSPX -
There once was a shrimp in the sea

Who wanted to live in a tree.
So it climbed the kelp forest,
(though its legs are now sorest)
But the view from the top brings much glee! pic.twitter.com/OtsTC84cgd -

With a claw that exacts quite a toll.
It dishes up trouble

That gives snails a dark night of the soul! pic.twitter.com/eMJOOdWesQ -
There once was a copepod named shrimpy

Who had many legs that were skimpy.
And rather than fail,
He swam with his tail,
And now no one dares call him wimpy!
