A Silly Poem
Dec. 11th, 2009 11:44 pm(We were asked for an eight-line poem in AABBCCDD scheme, featuring a noise, a colour, and an octopus.)
"Better Off With Takeout"
Oh creature fine, limbs numb'ring eight
How shall I get you on my plate?
Shall you with a great sizzle fry,
or boil until red, by and by?
Oops, no, that's lobsters, silly me,
O! Octopus, I'll let you be,
for when I'm doing dishes you
stick to the pan like superglue.
