Magical Mud Crabs

In the pneumatophores you could find

Little creatures that collect fallen leaves

Mud Crabs are the Mangrove Crabs

These animals love to climb trees

Scurrying to look leaves that have fallen 

Crustaceans helping to save the day

Creating carbon than oxygen

They love to play

These Crabs are very cheeky 

But they do their best to sequest 

helping with our Mangroves 

They won’t rest

Big, strong and brown

Your shell as hard a rock

You burrow down into the mud 

They work around the clock

Mud Crabs living near the sea 

Helping all day and night

Making everything better

This isn’t a crab you want to fight
