  • Fountain Pen

    This octopus ain't no squid
    This fin ain't no quid
    That mess was all wrapped up
    with a five pound note

    In Egypt they discovered the jinks
    a veritas of missing links
    arms spiraling outward
    by a conch copier's quote

    Near Mexico they uncovered the stones
    of Quetzalcoatl's feathered bones
    In fons iuventute
    sailed back in de'Leon's boat

    Under Atlantis they covered it all
    with a well of water before the fall
    But now don't you be sad
    and don't give up your goat

    It has all been recorded
    before the ship was boarded
    by the fountain pen of time
    And that, is all she wrote
