An Octopus whilst out
and about
looking for a new abode
its hard these days
to find good shells
And not take on a too heavy load
he had found a disused ice cream cup
too big but very light
but living in it, frustrated him
for he knew he looked a sight
whereupon a friendly diver
right out of the blue
offered him some clam shells
relatively new
they were all the fashion
so two of them felt right
moving out of his ice cream cup
his little heart took flight
