Hairy marron

I am only a silly little lobster
I’m on the critically endangered roster
Only 38 millimetres in height
And for my life, I shall only fight
My evil, evil foe
have stolen the entire show
smooth marron is their name
they have populated the land I claim
all alone I shall now sit
it seems no one cares for me not one bit
three main pools left of me
It seems my life is not tax-free
the clock is ticking down and down
my population will not come around
I live in Margret River very close to you
But right now you don’t know how to stop feeling blue
I can't live out of water for more than a week
Long cold nights all alone my problem is unique
How can you help me get out of this jam?
Don’t catch or eat me, pick up wood from my dam
