Octavia the Opera Singing Octopus and the Treasure Chest

One day, as Octavia the opera singing octopus was swimming in the bay,

She found a curiosity that simply took her breath away !

At first, she thought it was some newspaper, left over from fish and chips...

When she looked a little bit closer, she suddenly did forward flips !

In fact, the paper was a treasure map...

No wonder Octavia was in quite a flap !

Low and behold ! She had struck gold !

The treasure was marked with an ink cross in bold !

Here beneath in Davey Jones locker, it said,

You will find treasure - "Golly gosh !" Octavia said !

Hoping to find medallions galore,

Octavia set off straight away from the shore....

The waves were strong, the journey was long,

Sometimes she head off in a direction that was wrong !

But she didn't give up...

She wanted a chalice cup...

Some necklaces, a bracelet and ten diamond rings....

What Octavia was really hunting, was all kinds of glittering things !

Deep beneath in the ocean blue,

Octavia thought she saw a shark - and a killer whale too !

She quickly sped off underneath seaweed to hide....

Behind a rock, the octopus shied !

When she finally plucked up the courage to venture out...

"Ships ahoy !", she gave a shout....

There in the distance, glimmering brightly,

Was a treasure chest in the sand .... she was rather shocked rightly !

Out spilled a hundred pearls,

The tide twirled and the waves swirled

Sat on top was one of those mermaid girls !

Octavia asked her the way home and if she'd like to come too....

Having nothing better to do, off they swam to trials new !
