I love all sea creatures, but my favorite has always been an octopus. I love writing and illustrating about these wonderful sea creatures. The reason I am fascinated by these creatures is because they have three hearts and nine brains, each brain lies in a tentacle which allows them to move in multiple directions and with accuracy. I always found octopuses cute, sweet and playful and that made me feel happy.
The Hug-a-puss
What is a hug-a-puss? You may not know
They are shy creatures and do not put on a show
They have a sweet smile and eight legs to hug
Please do not mistake it for a bug
They come in colors – yellow, pink, and blue
A hug-a-puss is loyal and true
A hug-a-puss is loving and fun
A hug-a-puss is a friend to everyone
It has three hearts that love you everyday
But you have to treat a hug-a-puss in a special way
A hug a puss’s hearts can break in three
If you are not the best person you can be
A hug-a-puss thrives on the goodnesss you put out
So please do not curse or shout
Every time you are mean or make someone cry
It will make a hug-a-puss slowly die
A hug-a-puss will always be there to hug you when you are sad
It never wants you to feel lonely or bad
Being a good person will take you far
Remember, a hug-a-puss loves you for who you truly are
A hug-a-puss will make the world a better place
One hug from it will make you happy and put a smile on your face
