Poema de Bobbie Lindquist -Octi the Octopus-

Octi the Octopus

Octi is an octopus

he lives down in the sea

off the coast of california

and close by me.

He is just a little guy

not bigger than a pinch

the fact is quite simple

he is only an inch

Octi moves around the sea

swaying to and fro

because he has no backbone

to hamper his free flow

He has a wonderful brain

inside his little head

trial and error is his way

to solve problems, it is said

Octi remembers what he does

like an elephant, never forgets

so when the problem comes again

he solves it, doesn't fret

He has a lot of legs

eight to be exact

and each one has some suckers

and this is quite a fact

When threatened by an enemy

Octi can escape

by releasing clouds of purple ink

and a getaway he can make

You can tell how Octi is feeling

by the color of his skin

white is fear, red is anger

and brown is where he will begin
