The Octopus Poem by Ogden Nash

The Octopus

Rating: ★3.4


Tell me, O Octopus, I begs
Is those things arms, or is they legs?
I marvel at thee, Octopus;
If I were thou, I'd call me Us.

I am very stupid. I wrote this poem so that children go through difficulty while learning it.

Are you really the author? If so, can you tell me the meaning of your poem? I really can't get it
