And on Keyboard...

My favorite story in the news,

Which likely garnered many views,

Involved a Swedish man and creature

In a human-interest feature.

 

Mattias Krantz, a young musician,

Used his chops and intuition

To teach an octopus to play

A piano in a clever way.

 

He purchased Takoyaki from

A market, thinking he’d become

The only keyboardist to use

Some tentacles to play the blues.

 

With bribes of crab to strike the keys,

This octopus learned how to please

And hit some notes just like a star

As Krantz strummed nearby, on guitar.

 

I read the tale of this duet,

A human and his ocean pet,

But you should go the extra mile –

The video will make you smile.
