the octopus's secret wish is not to be a formal fish he dreams that some time he may grow another set of legs or so and be a broadway music show - Don Marquis

a little more
conversation revealed
that warty bliggens considers himself to be
the center of the said
universe
the earth exists to grow toadstools for him
to sit under
the sun to give him light
by day and the moon
and wheeling constellations
to make beautiful
the night for the sake of
warty bliggens
