“Oliver the Octopus” by Kylie Covark

Oliver the Octopus is talented indeed,

In the ocean orchestra he’s all they ever need.

 

With one arm he conducts, with another arm he strums,

With another two he bangs a beat upon the ocean drums.

With his fifth he holds a flute and he blows a pretty tune,

The notes sound out so soft and sweet that all the mermaids swoon.

His sixth arm holds an oboe. His seventh arm, a cello.

He really is amazing, this aquatic, music fellow.

He wears a dashing suit and is always looking sharp.

And with his final arm he plays upon a golden harp.

 

From North and South, from East and West,

From upstream and down under,

Sea creatures swim from all around

For this eight-legged wonder!
