LOBSTER LARRY


Just read about lobster Larry
Eleven pounds gave away his age
He was born before World War Two
So he was released from the dinners table
Reminded me of a college class
It was Oceanology 101 of course
Maine Lobsters are not found on West Coast
An expensive delicacy for most
The cost of breeding could come down
If a way to breed them locally could be found
The conditions were proved to be the same
10,000 Maine lobsters were dropped in the bay
First thought being they did not get along
With all the local fauna but not the case
Year later when they checked how they were doing?
Nothing in the pot would be stewing
The idiots left claws tied they could not eat
Dead lobsters were all over the sea floor
Those in Maine said, "How stupid, you get no more!"
So man decided California was in a drought
Alaska had sheets of ice all freezing all about
Tugboats would attach--haul them to a distant shore
The trip so long there was no ice anymore
Man's stupidity sometimes is too much to ignore
