My Octopus

I once had an orange octopus

I put him in the bath and told him to shush

My Mum went to hop in

She yelled and said "put him in the bin" 

I thought that wasn't cool

So I put him in the pool

My Dad went to have a dip

He yelled and said "Take him to the tip"

I told my parents Octopi lack smarts

But they make up for it with their three big hearts

Their blood is blue not red

They have eight long tentacles and one small head

When he turned two

I left him at the zoo

I cried all the way home

So my Dad got me an ice cream cone

I miss my orange octopus.
