Octopus the Eighth: The Story of Arms and Legs

Octopus the Eighth
Tried to keep the faith.
He couldn’t count to ten
And he knew when
He made it to seven
He would stop before eleven.
He had four arms
With all their charms.
He had four legs
And a fact that begs
Discussion is that
He wore a special hat
‘Cause he was a king of the sea.
A crown was his to be
A ruler of the ocean.
He had great devotion.
If you visit the sea floor,
Swim to his front door.
He will greet you with a smile
And ask you to stay for a while.
