A long, long time ago,

Deep under the sea,

There lived an unfortunate octopus

Who had been cursed by a bee.

This bee had quite been offended

When the octopus Abraham

Laughed, saying it made no sense

To have a fuzzy bum.

The bee called the octopus

“Ignorant, stupid pervert!”

But the damage was already done,

Burt had already been hurt.

“I curse you and your descendants!”

Cried Burt as he stung Abe’s head,

And then “Beeqaksibees!” was the last thing

Abraham claims Burt said.

At first Abe felt but a tiny sting

Upon his shiny baldness,

But then a tickle, and then some more

And his hair grew like the wilderness.

“Noo!” Abe screamed in despair,

“My beautiful silky shine!”

He desperately tried to pull them out

But his tentacles weren’t for such a design.

The more he struggled, the more they tangled,

Until eventually he abided.

This is why this beautiful creature

Found the deep dark ocean to hide in.

Until this day, some fish do claim

To have seen a special weed.

They say it grows in the darkest depths

This glossy lustrous breed.

Little do they know of poor Abe’s tale,

Who may never show his face again.

Frankly he got what he deserved,

He shouldn’t have been so mean back then.
