Two eyes
\nA central mouth
\nA beak
\nEight limbs
\nSoft bodied
\nMany seek
\nOut within the ocean wide
\nFlocomotion
\nFrom inside<\/p>\n
A siphon
\nAnd pure respiration
\nExpelling jets
\nTnats the creation
\nFabulous sight
\nThree hearts
\nA great
\nSense of touch
\nAnd your fate<\/p>\n
Six months
\nBy our standards
\nshort
\nRecognition and
\nSo much thought<\/p>\n
Enlightenment
\nYou comprehend
\nOctopoda
\nSuch a friend
\nBilaterally symmetric
\nWho
\nElse
\nSo well versed
\nbut for you<\/p>\n
Authentic constant
\nUndistorted
\nIn the ocean seldom
\nThwarted
\nA breadth of mind
\nBeyond your years
\nA cephalopod
\nBrings me to tears<\/p>\n
Expelling ink
\nA sage to be
\nWriting your way
\nThrough history
\nSharks for you
\nSpell terror, they
\nLove your taste
\nOr so they say<\/p>\n
Then you have your poisonous bite
\nIt can be deadly
\nThats as a right
\nYou enjoy small fish
\nAnd shellfish too
\nAnd your coloration
\nIs something new<\/p>\n
Camouflage another trait
\nKrill and plankton
\nBoth you rate
\nDenizens of the deep
\nMaybe
\nAnd surface dwellers
\nSeemingly<\/p>\n
Light exposes
\nThe belief
\nThe rationality of grief
\nLateral thinking
\nWithin your thrust
\nAnd resoning just
\nIs a must.<\/p>\n
