Ollie Octopus

Ollie Octopus could sure do some harm
  With each one of his poisonous arms ~
     He flashed his tentacles
     Nearly identicals ~
  I hear females fall for his subtler charms

Ollie can certainly be charming and ...persuasive at the same time. Watch out ladies! I'm sure writing this was a lot of fun, GW...ab

Ollie Octopus gets ladies alarmed - By what he can do with his roaming arms - He wraps them up tight - Which gives them a fright - They are lucky to get away unharmed…… Belle

Oh, Ollie. He leaves the ladies less than jolly. More like jelly. ~ gw

Poisonous, still females fall for his charms. This can be applied to human beings too. An interesting limerick... ! I feel you are filling the vacuum left by Rico!

Gomer Pyle, my favorite schlubb ever: 'Hey, Sargeant Carter...' Boy could that fairy sing though. Ever hear him sing 'Climb Every Mountain' (from Man of La Mancha). Watch the video. It has Sgt. Carter in it too. AMAZING... Thank, CM!
