Hermit Crab Wisdom

A boy at the beach walked away from his pail,

And out of the bucket climbed a lonely lil snail,

After many hours of trying,

The hard work had left him crying,

So, he went to rest behind a little shell,

But, it moved to which he wondered "what the Hell?"

The shell, which was a crab,

Didn't often like to gab,

But, he saw the snail was sad and kinda scared,

So, he said "hello" and then his soul he bared,

"Seclusion equals Solace",

Said the Crab to the Mollusk,

"And you must learn to be happy all alone,

For if when you're by yourself,

You can manage perfect health,

You will find that you are finer on your own."
