Isn't it weird how crabs walk any direction except forward?
How do they not trip more often? I have to look at every step when I'm walking on stairs* to avoid Humpty Dumpty style injuries, but somehow those little creepers can walk in all crazy directions without so much as a glance by their periscope eyes. I find this multi-directional meandering makes them seem untrustworthy. "Ah haha!" you laugh at their funny walk as you relax in your beach chair. Then an hour later you find claw holes in all of your beer cans and your wallet is gone.
There once was a crab named Dwight
Whose gal complained during a fight
"You're just not straightforward!"
And pouting, headed shoreward
Marching straight ahead to the right.
* I'm not exaggerating, I have a serious stair walking problem. Sometimes my brain forgets what directions to give the old legs around the fifth stair. One of my biggest nightmares is continually falling down on an up escalator until someone hits the emergency stop button.
