Is brilliant.
One body with eight boneless arms that works together
To pull and push itself across the ocean floor.
Three hearts pump blood through its gills and organs
In a well-coordinated symphony of understated elegance.
At the helm of each arm is a brain that multitasks
And frankly, would make any blue-blooded mother proud.
The eight-ring circus of suckers
Equipped with chemical sensors
Can color coordinate, paralyze, burn and
solve any puzzle or Wordle with relative ease.
It can also express distaste for shape shifting,
venomous politicians, brimming with conceit.
Yes, this ink is for you.
