Octopus

I'm glad I'm not an octopus I would find it so confusing
With so many tentacles I would forget which one I am using
They would get in such a tangle all twisted and contorted
It would cause me embarrassment to get my arms all sorted
It could be handy (please excuse the pun) if I was a juggler
It should be lots of fun
I could get quite famous juggling lots of balls with flair
Children would be fascinated watching all the colours in the air
I am not an octopus and I would not know what to do
I am a human being and arms I've only two

##I am a human being and arms I've only two## I imagine, what would be your poems if you were an Octopus.. Even now with those two gifted hands you are mixing words so well..
