The Simplicity of Life

I have a octopus on my roof, yes I have the photos, I have the proof He is not quite your regular octopus; he is rather dignified and aloof He is eating bananas by the dozen, sent by a cousin from Costa Rica He is just sat with his best friend, who is none other, than a cheetah Yes, he cheats at cards, and drives fast cars, and dodges all his fines To speeding down the freeway well over the speed limit sometimes Both are blocking my TV aerial and playing havoc with the reception And down on me they display their need to reflect their disaffection With no David Attenborough on my TV channels, so both are dissed They are glaring down at me as demanding, that I get a satellite dish I am on the phone to the satellite guys with an order quick as can be So octopus can go back hogging the sofa, as cheetah sits on my knee
