Crabs in a Bucket

by Mary E. Lowd


We can be better
Than crabs in a bucket

I believe that
I do
In spite of all the crabs I’ve known
(I’ve known more than a few)

I will build, aspire
Always strive to rise higher
It only takes a few

You can be one too
—even when it feels dire—
Always keep climbing out of the mire
