Now the cuttlefish
is a curious little critter,
not above shenanigans
because these naughty little things
indulge in oral ***
What? Well, yes,
the male pops his hectocotylus
into the female’s mouth
and halleluja, does his thing
right there, without shame
or any ignobleness.
And the female?
Well, she doesn’t waste or swallow this
although she goes round other males
and solicits more deposits
for her clutch. Eh?
Such wantonness.
Really. But this precociousness
is just the way they like it
and shows us
there are many different ways
to indulge in coitus.
That's right, just simply
liking lots of hectocotylus
right down to, but properly,
stopping short of her esophagus.
Without any further apophasis,
obviously, nature thinks that this is
efficacious.
Now, I'm not a marine biologist,
but I think
this bodacious little cuttlefish
is amazing and audacious.
