Breakfast For Squids

Oooooooh bagels and bread by golly
Rumors and ramekins, fools folly
This attitude aggregious 
But a knick knack fecicious
Hold a tick, did you say napkins? 
Not for glass jars and captains
A twist off jammed and stuck in a rut
Threads on a screw doing all the scut
A nail has it easy
All smooth and goes in easy
But time and hammer gave a chance
As long as it was done in baggy pants
So a squid with a quiver
Full of arrows did deliver
Down the narrows did they float
But on a paddle not a boat
So he ate his breakfast fast
And wiped the ink off from a blast
Broke open the container
It's no crazier than saner
Built the shelter speedily
With headphones on greedily
Balanced atop a wooden oar
A raft, no no, just such a bore
Not very analytical 
But we won't become political 
Since it was a higher ranking tenticle
Who made the inky wooden popsicle
A little poem nonsensical
Where sense is reprehensible

I had a lot of fun reading your poetry, Hat. Thank you. You are able to maintain the interest of the reader from the very first to the very last sentence. And the usage of homophones was not only very creative but also really fun. Blessings
