What rhymes with octopus?

fazstp · 02-02-2009, 06:06 PM

On a lighter note can anyone think of a word or phrase to rhyme with octopus?

A few half-rhyme possibilities to get you started:

actor/doctor/docker/darter/after +
bus/fuss/cuss/plus/thus/truss/us

platypus rhymes and has the same number of syllables. Then there's the slightly longer hippopotamus. Or as Ogden Nash would have it rhyme:

Quote:


	THE OCTOPUS Tell me, O Octopus, I begs Is those things arms, or is they legs? I marvel at thee, Octopus; If I were thou, I'd call me Us.

Then of course, if Google isn't cheating there's the Rhyming Dictionary

Wuss, at least that's the only one that I can think of...

Not quite convinced by actor-bus

Not bad, although I'd prefer not to introduce another animal into a semi-descriptive rhyme about an octopus.

Cheating doesn't really come into it. Just my pathological procrastination.

cuz i got me a platypus?

There once was a very big octopus
who got in a fight with a platypus
though he had more arms
he ran away in alarm
Now everyone thinks he's a wuss.

Doesn't quite work, but if we're looking for rhymes, might as well write limericks

I do testify that some words do rhyme with octopi!

NovaScotian · 02-04-2009, 04:58 PM

With one of his arms a large octopus
who was often thought a bit pompous
said: It's very clever, I think
that I use my own ink
to pen this magnificent opus

Can't believe I didn't think of this one. The best word that rhymes with octopus is of course HIPHOPOPOTAMUS!

I'm not an Octopus, I'm the Hiphopopotamus.
My rhymes are bottomless, ...

NovaScotian · 02-05-2009, 07:36 PM

There is no mistaking an octopus
for even a small hippopotomus

Rhymenoceros would also be acceptable

fazstp · 02-05-2009, 08:50 PM

He's scratchin' like an Octopus
His name is the Rhymenoceros
Gettin' booty
Paid in loot
His method is meticulous

(Hmmm maybe not

)

Gettin' booty
Paid in loot he
never takes an actor bus?

Actor bus? Is that anything like the short bus? I'm confused...

See post #2 for rhyme pairings. Sorry I don't know what an actor bus is either. How about "He never follows after us"?
