A chapter in the book Worlds

Octopus World 7

by Bill Schott

The octopus and sometimes octopi

will gather at the rocks along the shore

nobody knows just when or even why

but I think they are planning for a war


These creatures of the sea have seen enough

to know that they can't trust us anymore

so they are getting set to do the stuff

to put us back where we were kept before


On the beaches where now shells are lying

crawled the creatures from which we evolved

a plan to send us back would be worth trying

so danger to the planet could be solved


This doesn't have to mean they want our death

but just how long can mankind hold its breath
