The Cuttlefish Man
The way he spoke sent shivers down my spine.
“You’re kidding,” I said, “I think you look fine.”
A sound like a snort came out of the nest
Of tentacles writhing below his crest;
“Bah! I’ve made allowances for your youth,
But now it’s time for you to hear the truth:
Toxic waste is being dumped in the sea,
Killing all marine life—including me!”
