Two Folding Tentacles

Two folding tentacles
took ten years to trace
only to travel out into space.

Two folding tentacles
traveled in space
trying to understand their disgrace.

One folding tentacle
was feeling rather sick,
all this drafting was
getting on his wick.

The other folding tentacle
had fallen asleep,
and was dreaming of past times
when she felt less weak.

Nothing had passed them
and nothing ever will
until the two tentacles
take the bitter pill.

Two folding tentacles
traveled in space,
looking for someone
to explain their disgrace.

Still nothing had passed them
so they stayed quite still,
and wondered if everyone else
had taken the pitter pill.
