And on Keyboard
My favorite story in the news,
Which likely garnered many views,
Involved a Swedish man and creature
In a human-interest feature.
Mattias Krantz, a young musician,
Used his chops and intuition
To teach an octopus to play
A piano in a clever way.
He purchased Takoyaki from
A market, thinking he’d become
The only keyboardist to use
Some tentacles to play the blues.
With bribes of crab to strike the keys,
This octopus learned how to please
And hit some notes just like a star
As Krantz strummed nearby, on guitar.
I read the tale of this duet,
A human and his ocean pet,
But you should go the extra mile –
The video will make you smile.
