If ever you were to see our clinics
never would you find a group of cynics
as depraved as those in mutagenics
who created the octopus cat.

A collection of men from our fair city
all thinking themselves to be so witty
that they grew from scratch this evil kitty
the horrible octopus cat.

It looks at you with knowing eyes
is deaf to all your frightened cries
a creature you had best despise
this menacing octopus cat.

It crawls on eight disgusting tentacles
each of them tattooed with pentacles
be wary of the dread cylindricals
of the deadly octopus cat.

And should you hear within its jowls
the beginnings of its feral growls
or else its otherworldly howls
then beware the octopus cat.

For if you hear these sounds behind you
it's certain we will never find you
I hope we won't have to remind you
look out for the octopus cat.

This is a silly little rhyme about a serious little cat. Entirely inspired by this hilarious yet sinister piece of art.

Very cool. Love the rhyming scheme - really added to the tension. The rhythm at the end of each stanza was very fitting, always coming back to the octopus cat.
Congrats on the DLD - you deserve it!

Thanks! And congrats to you as well. I'm so glad DLD is on the lookout or I probably would never have found your poem and the world would have been a sadder place.
