Octopus

Deadly intelligent life form 
At the bottom of the sea 
I am from planet confused 
What did I do 
with my glasses 
I can not see them ha 
Everything a joke 

Ha ha blind as a bat 
My big eyes 
are not great 
My name is octopus 
You are under my control 

look at the arms 
Look at the arms 
I am certifying myself mad 
in the head 
Look at the arms 
I am lost with 
so many arms hanging down 
Confused dot. com. 

I would need to be 
they are driving me crazy 
Keeping so many arms busy 
My brain can not cope 
with all the stress 
I will just have to use 
two arms a time 
Easier to control
will ignore the rest for now 

Just keep one eye on them 
To much for my brain 
to handle 
I think I am going cross eyed 
Sending me blind 
moving about 
look at the arms 
Look at the arms 

Medusa of the deep 
Minus the body 
Cold and lonely down here 
In a tizzy watching 
My mind can not sleep 

Look at the arms 
Theirs no arm in me really

A very interesting and unique poem that did make me smile! I can also relate to the feeling of nowhere to go and nothing to do which drives me crazy at times! Then there are times when there is so much to do that I wish I had eight arms! Great work on this piece! I enjoyed it!
