The Kraken

Deep beneath the sea,

A titanic creature dwells.

Sorrowful as can be,

He is the Kraken.

Tentacled and fearsome,

He mourns the company he’s lackin’.

He’s scary to the eye,

But gentle in his heart.

None will be his friend,

no matter who he tries.

All he wants is a hug,

But when he embraces a passing ship,

He sinks it with a glug.

Woeful is his life,

Forever alone in the deep,

The kraken knows only strife.
