Horseshoe Crabs
Horseshoe crabs can’t hurt you.
Not many people know.
Horseshoe crabs are not often seen in the snow,
And they are related to spiders not the crow.
Horseshoe crabs have 10 eyes,
But they don’t have any thighs.
Don’t grab them by their tail,
But instead of letting them flail,
Flipping them will never fail.
They lay their eggs in the spring,
But most of them are eaten by animals with wings.
