1. I don't know who Jake is, but that is pure Mason Williams.

I love his "them poems".
Now I write 'em.

THEM CRAB PICKERS

How bout them crab pickers,
Ain't they news?
Pickin them Dungeness,
Pickin them Blues.

Pickin them he crabs,
Pickin them shes.
Bustin they legs up,
Suckin on the knees.

Them shell-crackin crab pickers,
Ain't they a shock?
Some use a ball peen,
Some use a rock.

How to be a crab picker?
It ain't very neat.
Whacka buncha Blue crabs,
Pick out the meat!

Once again with thanks and apologies to Mason Williams, the original "Them Poet".
