An Octopus Ate My Ice Cream

By: Nathan, Mrs. Grant's 5th Grade Class

 

An octopus ate my ice cream, every single bite;

the octopus ate my ice cream, but I didn't put up a fight!

That octopus ate my ice cream,

I saw it with my eyes;

an octopus ate my ice cream,

boy, was that a surprise!

He ate it all in one big chomp

with my shiny spoons;

at least he didn't eat my pie and cake--

oops, I spoke too soon.
