The Cuttlefish Man
For a moment not a sound could be heard;
The situation was really absurd!
But I wasn’t being foolish or brave:
Since I believed that he had to behave
Until I’d performed that one simple task;
So out popped a question I dared to ask:
“What will you do once I reach in that box
And open the door it presently locks?”
