Donald the Angry Octopus<\/b><\/p>\n

\"image\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Donald the angry octopus was keen to rule the sea;
\nAll he had to do was get the others to agree.
\nHe flattered all the flatfish, the flounders and the dabs.
\nHe tried his very hardest to be civil to the crabs.
\nHe used his twisty tentacles to tickle timid fishes,
\n(Though when they said that he should stop, he just ignored their wishes.)
\nFor Donald didn\u2019t truly care for fishes or for shellfish –
\nHe only really loved himself; he was entirely selfish.
\nAnd very soon he found kind words were sticking in his gullet;
\nHe didn\u2019t want to chat up cod or parley with a mullet.
\nAnd when the catfish criticised and said that he was mean,
\nBig Don, he showed his temper (it was something to be seen).
\nHe didn\u2019t like Miss Catfish and made no attempt to hide it,
\nThe tide was flowing his way and he was going to ride it.
\nSupport for Don was growing in this underwater nation
\n(It\u2019s hard to be warm-hearted when you\u2019re only a crustacean.)
\nThe limpets, in particular, supported cruel Don\u2019s notion
\nOf keeping out the snappers from their special bit of ocean.
\nAnd when the mackerel challenged, saying: \u2018How low can you sink?\u2019
\nBig Don just smirked his meanest smirk and squirted him with ink.
\nDon was vain and mean and sneaky, but here\u2019s the funny thing:
\nThe fishes and the shellfish made that octopus their king.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
