More cephalopoetry, from the Cuttlefish Poet:
A Cuttlefish Limerick or Three
The cuttlefish: Squid-like, you think?
Just a cephalopod in the drink?
Then you also should know it
Refers to a poet,
Or any who hide in their ink.For writers who think that they’re odd
And ignored, by indifferent God,
Don’t allow yourself–perish
The thought, and just cherish
Your label of “Cephalopod”For today, there will be no rebuttal–
We will celebrate, loud and unsubtle!
Just the same as each squid
And each octopus did,
We’ll shake all of our legs, and our cuttle!A Cuttlefish Double-Dactyl
Inkily, thinkily,
Deepwater cuttlefish
Hide in their ink (to a
Poet, that’s odd)Writing, you see, is not
Characteristically
Part of the life of a
Cephalopod.the classic Ogden Nash–
THE OCTOPUS
Tell me, O Octopus, I begs
Is those things arms, or is they legs?
I marvel at thee, Octopus;
If I were thou, I’d call me Us.)
What, no recipes?
You’re welcome to send some in.
Didn’t this fall on December 22nd last year? I ask only because that was the day I had my unholy courthouse wedding, and I will be sorely disappointed if I don’t get to wear my special squid skirt on my anniversary.

That’s Cephalopodmas. ICAD is a more secular observance. ;-)
Certainly there is enough room in our lives for at least two days of celebration?
LOVE the cuttlefish poetry! Where did he come from? More, MORE!! :)
how did such a gifted poet ever end up with a degree in biology…such a waste.

I think we need more poetry for science-related themes. Give this poetic cuttlefish a regular gig! :)
