Today's word is "laterigrade" ... LAT-er-i-greyed ... having a sideways manner of moving, as a crab. (Dictionary.com)
Crabby
Up, down and laterigrade,
The creatures bob and weave,
Down the sandy beaches,
Through waves and sticks and leaves.
Running who knows where,
In search of what, who knows?
They have their own peculiar ways,
Those tiny desperados.
