179. The Opposite of Octopus!

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

See also, an 'O' photo on my PLUS blog and an 'O' play on my ETT SETTERA Blog.

 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!

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!

YOU'LL FIND IT THERE!
