Notion

What's your notion?
Can I dive in?
Are your thoughts a manatee?
Are they a giant squid?

How many suction cups,
upon how many arms?
And if I guess "eight"
become ye an octopus?

Dive up with speed m'darlin'!
'Twill be as a shuttle launch in th'deep--
With naught but bubbles
to say a thing.

When long I had this peg leg fer a friend?
