No matter your patience
Or how long you wait
You can't change his motion
Or alter his gait

He'll scamper and shuttle
He'll dodge and he’ll weave
And just why he does it
You cannot conceive

Watch with some wonder
While rolling your eyes
He'll veer side to side
While you swallow your sighs

He won't get embarrassed
He won't feel ashamed
He's doing it his way
He will not be blamed

For that is his nature
The way he was born
Don't try to change him
You'll increase his scorn

While most have evolved
To move forwards, it's true
He can't understand
Why we do what we do

He gets where he wants to
He's got his own style
And we'll watch fascinated
In awe for a while

He does what he does
And you never will teach
I observe, but don't honor
That crab on the beach

Aristophanes said "You cannot teach a crab to walk straight."
