The Octopus Lamp

Once Upon several decades ago, I spied an octopus lamp.
My younger sister teased me out of it, calling it horrible names.
I have forever wished I had ignored her, for I am still looking.
These days the octopus lamp would be considered Steampunk.
Back then, it was a mere oddity, something novel, something I loved.
I so wish now I had ignored the teasing, for I have never seen it again.

Where's your old DIY spirit?! ~ Giggle and Guffaw, Gershon Login to Reply Caren Krutsinger Date: 4/1/2022 9:01:00 PM I have to tell you I despise not buying something I really wanted to buy, especially when it was one of a kind and I NEVER see one again!

L Milton Hankins Date: 3/31/2022 10:38:00 AM I think of many times I was "talked out of" something that really appealed to me. I think I know how you feel. You were deprived of something that was very meaningful to you, and that was what mattered. Login to Reply Caren Krutsinger Date: 3/31/2022 12:26:00 PM I will not give up my search.
