Octopus on a Dock

adding 8 + 2

octopus cartoon 2  
Octopus with 8 legs,
Sat on a sandy dock,
Thinking having 10 legs would really, really rock!
She called her friend,
A two-legged beast,
Who joined her on the dock,
cartoon penguin
Said sit here,
On my head,
Then we’ll really rock!!!
We now have 8 plus 2 legs,
‘Cause ten legs really rocks,
The only problem we might have,
Is where to find 10 socks!
