UnrequiredPoetry: "squiddy squid", a collaboration between [[CAEB]] and [[BPB]], in the proud tradition of [http://p1k3.com/2003/1/28/turtle "turtle"]. Variations welcome if set off or put in a separate section, but please keep original intact unless you *are* CAEB or BPB.

Technical note: Poem is formatted by putting a space in front of each line to make it preformatted / monospaced text. This is a hack 'til I come up with a better way to format poetry around here.

= squiddy squid =

 once there was a squid.
 a giant squid.
 a squishy squid.
 a giant squishy squiddy squid.

 you might even say
 it was a squamous squid,
 that squid of yore.

 yes, you'll shudder in your shoes
 but this is the truth:
 he was squamous
 and squalid and squishy
 and squashy, and most often
 squiggly and squiffy,
 the squid that lived over yonder
 in those days of yore.

 he was not like the other squid,
 the squid of which (or whom?) we speak
 though of squalidity and sqamosity
 he had a mighty store
 for even in his squiffiness, his
 squiggly derring-do...

<[[Brennen]]> Definitely revise above stanza.
