Giant Pacific Octopus (GPO) seeks employment at Government Printing Office (GPO). A double limerick…

Octavia claimed that a skilled GPO
That easily grasped what she needed to know
Could handle the night shift. In fact, GPO
Recruiters were all in agreement, “Although,”
They said with a wink
That made her blush pink,
“We really don’t think
Your octopus ink
Is useful as document printing jobs go,
And we have an inkling you thought we’d say so.”

    • It seems unlikely that the giant Pacific octopus should actually be referred to by an acronym, but apparently it is. I only discovered this fact after reading an article on the annual census undertaken in Puget Sound. This year’s tally was 28. Whether Octavia was among those counted depends on whether she actually got the job in Washington.

      • Funny, Noah said the same-thing. Oh wait, no he didn’t. He built the ark and got the job done. Did he complain? Probably. I know he preached for like 400 years and did not convert one single person. What can we take from that? Master boat builder. Worst preacher ever.
