A good day...

The Octopus
(From Good Intentions by Ogden Nash)

Tell me, O Octopus, I begs,
Is those things arms, or is they legs?
I marvel at thee, Octopus;
If I were thou, I'd call me Us.

The Octopussy
(From Mixed Beasts by Kenyon Cox)

I love Octopussy, his arms are so long;
There's nothing in nature so sweet as his song.
'Tis true I'd not touch him - no, not for a farm!
If I keep at a distance he'll do me no harm.

I am so glad I got you that book already you are smarter..and less fat.

you know I am just itching to change the "I love Octopussy" poem around a bit to sound like a really well written porno.
