Nativity of Paul the Octopus

 Hymn: Bobbing along at the bottom of the beautiful briny sea

Paul (actually Hnaef with an octopus head and gold nail varnish): Blibble blibble blobble blubble!

All: Plibble pibble blobble bubble!

Paul the Octopus

Paul: Bobble bibble pibble.

All: And also with yobble.

Paul: Flibble bibble bobble!

Charlii: Hang on, what is going on?

Young Keith: Bobble flibble flibble.

Charlii: Stop this! This is clearly cultural appropriation.

Archdruid: Whabble?

Charlii: You have cherry-picked the Octopus culture to enliven your cosy, middle-class, consumerist religion. You cannot just go about saying nonsense to give yourself a fake feeling of spiritual depth.

Archdruid: Oh well, that's the Celtic Twilight Service gone as well then.

Hnaef: Let us join in the Leggy Lament.

All: Oh Paul the Octopus, we wish you were with us now. 
As with an 85% prediction accuracy
You'd have more chance of forecasting the course of this pandemic than the Prime Minister.
In fact, if you weren't dead
Dominic Cummings would probably have hired you.


Hymn: Living in a Box

  1. When we read Paul's epistles, he must have had eight writing arms to complete them all longhand, or alternatively, he had an Octopus as his scribe. What a wonderful thought that Paul had a Bobble bibble pibble. writing his texts.
