A Sonnet on Kenopus

I have so much to do; I need more arms
To help me with my chores without some harms.
I’ve sought the help of lovely maidens fair,
But find that after time, they do not care.
I do not need a man to do the work;
I find them at my age to simply lurk
Around the house and wait ‘til time for lunch.
They’re acting just like I do, I’ve a hunch.

It dawned on me that stem cell news could aid
To breed some help and fix the mess I’ve made.
If I could mate with someone with more arms
I’d quickly offer up my manly charms.
Perhaps I’d tempt a comely octopus.
We’d raise fine sons, they’d be a Kenopus

Ken

Thanks for the grin you gave me with this one. I could use a Kenopus myself.

Thanks, Kacy. I needed a grin today and this gave me one as well. I always value your comments. Ken

AHA! A clone...
would that be a zone
where I could sleep in,
and gather my grins...
and still complete poems on my own?

Hmmm?

You have no idea how much I needed to read this today!
Nor do you realize how very much we both need those extra arms!!

Fun read Ken!

how I envy the writing of a sonnet . . .
this beautiful form just escapes me
You contain IT without the form
constricting you.
