An oomung oomung is a hermit crab, notorious hunters of the night, the best time to catch salmon off the beach!
Late May she’s a starry starry night. Ol’man moon nowhere in sight. Southeast wind playing tricks on my mind. Fingers bent and ready to hold the line. The Scorpion is rising in the east. Orion ah well he’s just gone to sleep. Corvus crow watch him diving down. Simpson Beach seems so far away from town
Catfish don’t you bother me tonight. Oomung oomung scabbin round the firelight. The line tears sideways salmon on the run, Poke them coals ’cause supper here she comes, Can’t explain this feeling but I know it’s high, Don’t really want to know the reason why. Another wave comes crashin’ down around my feet .I’m stoned on fresh air down on Simpson Beach, The Scorpion is rising in the east, Orion ah well he’s just gone to sleep, Corvus crow watch him diving down, Simpson Beach seems so far away from town

An image is worth a thousand words, so I draw the little monsters literally impaling themselves on the molecule. The characters are scary, yet the style of illustration is quite clean and shiny.
