For letter 'O' I've dredged up another ancient children's song from my teaching past. (The punch-line has changed with the times!)

Today is ABC WEDNESDAY, of course, so go to Mrs Nesbitt's place
and read lots of other entries.
THE OPPOSITE OF OCTOPUS!
The opposite of high is low
And the opposite of fast is slow,
But the opposite of octopus
Is something I don't know.
The opposite of hot is cold
And the opposite of young is old,
But the opposite of octopus
I never have been told.
The opposite of day is night
And the opposite of wrong is right,
But the opposite of octopus
Is something I can't write.
The opposite of go is stay
And the opposite of work is play,
But the opposite of octopus
I really cannot say.
The opposite of thin is fat
And the opposite of this is that
But the opposite of octopus?
What are you getting at?
The opposite of me is you
And the opposite of false is true,
But the opposite of octopus?
I haven't got a clue!
The opposite of thin is fat
And the opposite of this is that
But the opposite of octopus?

And the opposite of false is true,
But the opposite of octopus?
I haven't got a clue!
I really feel it isn't fair
That you ask me all this what and where.
If you want to know the opposite of octopus,
Google it!
Google it!
YOU'LL FIND IT THERE!

That's a lovely rhyme and I love the photo too. Did you make the octopus?
This made my whole day better and brighter : ). It reminded me of my Grandma and the pretty music she used to listen to! LOVE it! I love your personality!
How cute!
What a wonderful poem it is! Very funny.Thanks.
I was laughing all the way at this catchy little tune (yes, tune - which I made up in my head). And of course the answer to it - or anything else - is "Google it!"
You are making me work for this,,,LOL. I think I will have to google it later after dinner.
Cute phonics poem.
That octopus toy is so cute!!!
My "O" pictures are posted here and here. Hope you can drop by, too! Thanks!
I know when I come here I'm going to chuckle.
And when I googled it I was brought right back here.
Bear((( )))
Great post!
I liked this poem, it remeinded me of my Grandmother's home and garden (quite large). I googled something yesterday. Take a look at my blog about computers. Good old Google!
Great post. Thank you for your visit and comment.
Original way of learning vocabulary!
(Yes, I did the photos of african landscapes)
Miss Yves
LOL! I love it!
Did you write that one? It's very sweet and old-fashioned - reminds me of rhymes I heard in my childhood, and yet the last stanza, well, clearly it's not that old!
Thanks for you comment - it is there, but you left it on the wrong post, I think, and my blog doesn't allow me to move comments.
hehe you crafty old crone
you dared me
I googled it
and it brought me straight back here!
I see bear naked beat me to it!
That's such fun!
That's great. I nearly had to do an octopus today too ...
Is this anything like a snipe hunt?
A very clever poem--and I like the new ending!
So cute! the octopus and the lovely poem.
Thanks for bringing a smile on my fac.
What a lovely poem! A cute octopus too! MY post at Earthly explorations involves an octopus too!
Oh that was soooo good!
BTW I spent many years in Newcastle - the British version. I also remember flying over your town on the way to Port Macquarie from Sydney a few years ago. Happy times :)
Funny rhyme!
Funny little Ryhme, very cute. Your octopus picture is cutier then mind. My octupus is a little scary but we had fun that day, that's all that matters.
While all 'opposited' in poem seems in place, this octopus' opposite still eludes..!!!
