Touching your body stings like a bee

     Pardon me, for I am on the lam

Pray you won’t follow me as I flee...

not to gain believers but prophits....

You'd think I had tentacles like an oversexed octopus
My looks tend to make
Young girlies double take
And fight for a piece of this silly old schnook...

Charging into the void,
Eyes flashing, blades slashing. 
The shadows reaching out
Their icy tentacles cutting to my core.
Screaming into the night,
I’ll never quit this fight.
I’ll never let the darkness take you....

Osprey
with it's tentacles
jutting out 
plunges 
into a shallow stream,
grabbing
a Rainbow Trout;
tantamount 
to an arrow 
hitting 
the center 
of the target!
Up and away it goes!
