None who was in the Dog and
Mollusc that night will forget Cephalo Pod's emotive instrumental.
Like all octopuses Pod had three hearts, we saw them, they were worn
on a variety of his sleeves as he squeezed from his lap Charles Trenet's haunting ditty;
There wasn't a dry eye in
the Dog when Ceph mumbled his farewells. Shouts of “Encore!”
echoed in his statocyst as he waved multiple goodbyes and left via a crack in the wainscotting.
