Do scorpions think lobsters are mermaids?
That sailors desire and fear.
And lash themselves to the mast in the night.
When the song of the lobster is near.
.
Do scorpions say lobsters are beautiful?
Irresistible to scorpion eyes.
Enticing them in to the water below
For a kiss that will be their demise.
.
Do scorpions think lobsters are legends?
Just stories that scorpions regale.
After all, every scorpion should know how to spot.
When a story is just a tall tail.
