Molluscs and Cephalopods In Home

I have a bunch of snails in my home, he said.
I would not know what to do I replied. What have you done?
So far, I am classifying then into categories red.
I have squid, octopus and gastropods too, he said, for fun.

I was shocked and horrified, wondering about his house.
Are they salt water, fresh water or land beings? I queried.
They are frightening, scary, and they chase my mouse.
I saw one run past and It was clammy and harried.

Let’s have tea at my house I promptly suggested.
As an oversized octopus climbed out of his kitchen sink.
I am going crazy he replied. I feel I am being tested.
What is your opinion? What do you think?
