Although many may not agree
All these things I did see
A creature full of surprises
Its skin\'s texture, color, and pattern disguises
Its size it can change
Its shape rearrange
One person from another it can tell
Using its suction cups to taste and smell
Jet propelled
A cloud of ink expelled
Loyal to only one mate
Its intelligence we underrate
Shy, a solitary sole
Capable of bonds emotional
With a poisonous bite
It can pierce a crab shell in a fight
It will shake your hand
And can walk on land
A life so short
Always looking for sport
Easily bored, for a gag
It provokes its mate to play tag
Rides a nurse shark like a horse
Gets knocked off of course
Squirt you with a playful water jet
Though a predator, it kept a pet
Farms lobsters that it herds
Flashes iridescent messages instead of words
It\'s own tools it creates
Human behaviors imitates
Hearts, it has three
Is it capable of more love than you or me?
