The Octopus
The octopus. How miraculous.
Three hearts and suckers galore.
It sidles, silent and slimy;
it knows how to open your door.
I'd like to be that fabulous,
seduction would be a breeze.
One tenticle round her waist
while the rest can do as they please.
There's a downside to being tremulous,
changing colour to banish all fears.
During sex the male may be strangled
and both only live for two years!
Octopuses or octopi? Grill or stir-fry?
Scrumptous pickled, friendly when tickled.
