The Abalone

 

By Leonard K. Eaton

 

The Abalone is a gastropod

And gastropods are very odd

They travel on one foot alone

And slowly move from stone to stone

The sea otter find them succulent

And eats them to his heart's content

He breaks the shells like cracker boxes

For tools he uses handy rockses

       The fishermen don't like this notion

        But otters tell me it is their ocean.
