Poem :: Shrimpy

Hello dear friend 
From a red tub
Mud clear tail end 
Size of a grub

BG Aunty
Sat by the tap
Is not crazy
Heads off quick snap  

This one's alive
Blinked right at me
Need to survive
Take him! It's free

Run home next door
For my Shrimpy
One pair of claws
Hold me tightly

Tickle pebbles
Graceful marches
Hide and seek games
Appear the same 

River fish food
Brave the leeches
Careful you fool
Scary creatures 

Please be my muse 
Just don't refuse
Keep me at ease
My dear friend please
