IN AN OCTOPUSE’S GARDEN

Two octopuses met one day,

And they looked exactly alike.

Now if that wasn’t strange enough,

They both rode the same kind of bike.

They each wore a suit and tie,

That matched their deep blue eyes.

They both liked to play Crazy Eights,

And wore the same shoe size.

They shared the same sense of humor,

With lookalike grins,

And even though they had only just met,

They knew they were i-tentacle twins.
