A squab, a squid, a squishy stump
A troll, a gnome, a stick, a chump
How else to describe my cousin Bump?
You see, he also is a bit of a chump...

my squid wife Laura

                                      washes her tired ass at sea

asked me, so I did:
“eat sea beasties – look it up!”
Chocos, yes, there are,
and there’s calamar:

Squid.

Fell in love with a handsome marine
Got married, had a kid
Resembled a squid
Think sea water was to blame not her genes...

did you hear about the shyful squid
who always tried hard to stay well hid
it seems he was always found out

never managed to stay off the grid...

The icky sticky squid-man
Squeezed from the water spout
Leapt up my nose and

Inside my skull hole
He laid a thousand eggs....

but go sparingly on the anointment!

   Rams have two horns 
     on top of their head

   the better to butt you
     and leave you for dead

   which is why you should never
     cross a ram ever

   unless you’re a giant squid
     or a large bull from Madrid

Come to me krill, humpback whale calls
She feeds on a ton of them each day
Bottle nose comes up through the squalls
Hunting squid and small fish along the way
They are not in competition when they lunch
Both eating their way through ocean with a crunch...

Prawn and Winkle Custard

Prawn and Winkle Custard
A delicacy and delight
Much nicer than Pilchard Jelly
Sounds disgusting and contrite
I’m partial to Bat wing stew
Though not to the taste of all
But as for Squid legs soup
Yuk, that makes my Stomach crawl...
