O_O the snozberries taste like snozberries

At the back of my head there is a record playing, old and slightly scratched. Aladin's voice crackels to live singin an all to familiar melody; "I can show you a world, sparkling, shimmering, splendid...". My tatse buds have reacted to this explosion of flavor, by using music, and how appropriate. I practically had to build the road to this point myself cracking the shells and pulling off legs, burning my fingers to light a candle. all steps in a long process to get to the treasure, pale tender, juicy, treasure. my fingers are sore from digging into the crevases of the crustacean and all my work has reaped such little reward. although the slippery muscles are so few and far between they are delicious a bit salty and unlike any taste found on land, dipped in butter its just short of heaven on earth. I let the first bits slide over my lips, only to find its chewy, not too chewy, but enough to make it more fun to eat. My glory and success is short lived now that the morsel is gone I must attempt to retrive more from the carcus. I ignore the twinges of pain in my joints as i attempt to crack open a leg this time. slowly i cut along the natural crease to slpit the shell, as I peel back the shell a long stringy muscle is revealed. It seems i've hit the motherload. as i go to remove the find from my excavation site i let the shell slip it slides along my finger and cuts me...blast. The salty excressions seep in, there is no blood but it stings sumthing aweful.
