A PoetrySoup Poem Of The Day 23rd September 2024

 

hey ho does an octopus know how to juggle with eight cups and saucers and the fish watching him while the elephants swim then he juggles with a turtle and tortoise then ho hey does the octopus say I can do this all day round in circles but an ache in my arm in my arm, in my arm and so on through all eight tentacles so hey ho let the octopus go to bed nice and early with honey to rest and recline for a considerable time so he doesn’t feel worn out and funny ho hey and a new octopus day refreshed and all ready to juggle so with cups and with saucers a turtle and tortoise but the elephant’s splash makes him struggle hey hey that’s not fair that’s not fair so the octopus went somewhere quieter where he practised a lot and a lot more than not and so now he’s a pro entertainer

Love this humorous write, especially: but an ache in my arm in my arm, in my arm…I could just see kids singing this with arm movements! Congratulations on POTD!

Clive, this is cute, clever and soooo creative. :) I love this thought very much: ' I can do this all day round in circles, but an ache in my arm, in my arm; in my arm. ' Such a fun image to behold. Your thoughts bring a smile, my dear friend. I'm gonna add this to my favorites, because I wanna read it again and again. Congratulations on Poem of the Day. :) Brandy

Hello Clive, So cleaver and witty to have an octopus juggler filled with persistence and practice. Yes, one can overcome challenges and become skilled at their craft. It does take that dedication to practice, practice, practice. CONGRATULATIONS POTD! That is because you practiced and practiced and practiced. Also, Happy Birthday! - Blessings, My Friend, Daniel

Dear Clive, I adore the witty, whimsical, comical, animated imagery of your amazing musical poem. Full of fun and fabulous! I especially enjoyed "I can do this all day round in circles/but an ache in my arm/in my arm, in my arm/ and so on through all eight tentacles" ..giggles.. Such an adorable romp of imaginative verse! A fav! Warmest wishes my poet friend.. ~Susan
