He said he was scared of an octopus.

So they took him to the New York Aquarium

And he ran away.

He ran so far he ran into the sea

Where fishes and Narcticarc live

-no place for you and me.

He could not swim;

So he swam

He swam down

Unknowingly, to the cave of King Bigfish.

King Bigfish changed his name

(for his Arthur)

So now he is not really called

But the boy came and said hello to him

Down in his soakèd, soakèd hall.

So the hall was soakèd,

So says you.

Thus the little boy left

To make other friends

Down in the sea

And the sea plus,

Plus a thousand waves

Surrounded the boy in its blueness

Write on! He kept swimming

Two big eyes eight tentacles

So then he knew.
