Premium Member Rather Bleak Ending To a Wednesday

A cuttlefish swallowed my house the other day.
He ejected his inky black fluid and we could not get away.
The local newspaper came out and had a heyday.
Interviewing and photographing the monster that you may all say…
Was doing what comes natural in a regular cuttlefish way. 
Rather bleak ending to a regular Wednesday.

Cephalopod Amour

“If you scratch my back,” said the cuttlefish, “I'll scratch yours, my dear, for you're really quite a dish!” “If we were to wed, 'neath overhead night starry, upon the ocean bed,” replied the calamari, “just think, when the ink has dried, together we'll be tied, I'll be your Belle, you'll be my Beau, and happily we'll be, ever after... squid pro quo.”

Buds and Buddies

my fluffy puppy with curly hair
wags the tail on his derriere  
he jumps on my lap in a slapstick scene
licking my face ‘till squeaky clean

his gitty kitty butter ball brother
is a spotted sibling by another mother
that chases red lights up the wall
like a short legged fella ten feet tall

Pete the parakeet perched undisturbed
sits cracking seeds from a sealed reserve 
a cuttlefish bone hangs in his home
to sharpen his beak with precision hone
