"The Lonely Octopus"
There was once a lonely octopus in the depths of the ocean. He feels melancholic because he just lost the love of his life when a ship sank not far from where they were. Barrels of poisonous substance killed her then and there.
The lonely octopus was lucky enough to escape at a high speed. He didn't really want to but, "Octa", his love, pleaded him to.
"Live my love... Live your life well, for my sake too. I love you!", those were her last words.
"Octo", the lonely octopus sobbed quietly... still moving on from the painful death of his love. He then started humming...
"Octa, my love... Wherever you are...
Always in my heart like a lovely bright star
The only medicine of my broken heart
Through this music as sweet as tart
Great sadness... Oh, I'm feeling blue
Not even the liveliest circus can undo... "
Octo continued to live a solitary life... with his eternal love for Octa, until the bacteria in the ocean took his lonely life at last...
