TEN li'l crawfish, havin' themselves a time,
Thibodeaux ets one...den dere's only NINE,

NINE li'l crawfish, dey ends up on da plate,
One done fall off...an' now dey's only EIGHT,

EIGHT li'l crawfish, one dies, goes to Heaven,
Dere ain't EIGHT no mo'...dere's only SEVEN,

SEVEN li'l crawfish, dey's sho' in a fix!
'Nudder one eaten...now dey's only SIX,

SIX li'l crawfish, 'void gittin' boil alive!
All excep' one...an' now dey's only FIVE,

FIVE li'l crawfish, dey's scapin' out da doo'!
Hebert catch one...and now dey's only FO',

FO' li'l crawfish, dey's headed fo' da trees!
HEEEYYY...crawfish can't climb, now dey's only T'REE,

T'REE li'l crawfish, hidin' in da bayou!
'Gator ets one...an' now dey's only TWO,

TWO li'l crawfish, ain't havin' no mo' fun,
Thibodeaux snags anudder...dere's jus' ONE,

ONE li'l crawfish, da smartest of da bunch!
Outwitted 'em all, he ain't NO ONE'S lunch!!!!

Ahhh! Fantastic dialect in this one. A true poetic gem. I used to hunt crawdads in the creek when I was a kid. I'd put them in my pocket and wonder why they wouldn't move anymore when I got home. Great poem, Karla. My hat's off to ya.
