Oh pointy pods, oh pointy pointy...
I wonder if there are any more poems about cephalopods, because there probably should be.

It looks like a very pointy, spotted fingernail. Definitely time for new glasses.

re paddy
try HMHB* " them's the vagaries":
" thin men bin men lexicographers,

Deranged yes not so comprehensible.
*aka half man half biscuit**
**cookies to north americans***

Adapting a verse from England's Greatest One-Armed Poet:
O pointy squid, o pointy pointy,
Anoint my head, anointy-nointy.
