     The Cuttlefish Man
        “Now you can walk,” he rumbled through his beard
        No, his tentacles—it was really weird!
        “So, get moving: we haven’t far to go;
        Come on, I’ll tell you what you need to know.”
        He gave me a shove that rattled my brain,
        And started me stumbling next to the drain,
        Down a narrow path I barely could see,
        With the rough curving wall scraping my knee.
