Hi Folks, This is a shop selling stone artifacts in Mahabalipuram, Tamil Nadu, India. The shopkeeper, who had no idea about the Rolling Stones, said a German tourist suggested the name. Hope you dig the picture.<br />

<br />
<br />
Oracle Pool Paul is a poem dedicated to Paul the Octopus (now deceased) who had a predilection toward predicting the winners in some of the games in the soccer world cup held in South Africa in 2010. Some folks, however, weren't too happy and wanted to eat him alive, no kiddin! Here's how he dealt with them. <br />

<br />
Now, Paul’s always<br />
Getting Quizzed About<br />
His Soothsayin Ways,<br />
Why do you always plump for one side?<br />
How Do You Do It?<br />
Is There a Science Behind It?<br />
Intuition, boys, it’s intuition,<br />
Paul’s answer always,<br />
Never forgetting to add,<br />
I am strictly a football soothsayer,<br />
I don’t like draws,<br />
Hence one side earns<br />
a nod of approval<br />
from my
myriad tentacles.<br />
<br />
Now, the sides he
din’t fancy,<br />
Well, they were
anything but happy,<br />
Some threatened to
SQUISH HIM, SQUISH HIM…<br />
SQUISH HIM SOME MORE,<br />
till he was nothing
but a blob of jelly.<br />
<br />
A Clean Bill of Health
Beckons Paul,<br />
But Boy,
It was Touch and Go,<br />
The Enraged Few
Were Intent<br />
on
Turning him<br />
into
Eight Legged Soup,<br />
But you know,<br />
Then a funny thing happened,<br />
The enraged few wanted to buy him,<br />
Buy Him!<br />
Yup, buy him,<br />
From the enraged few<br />
They became contrite with a Big C,<br />
Many of them<br />
were goin through<br />
A rough patch,<br />
They all wanted
Him<br />
to be their
own personal clairvoyant,<br />
Are things gonna
get better?<br />
I am a straggler,<br />
Will I become a millionaire?<br />
Their ready questionnaire,<br />
Anyway, Paul declined,<br />
I am strictly
a football soothsayer, he said,<br />
They became the<br />
enraged few
once more,<br />
dished out
the same threat,<br />
which
was to turn<br />
Paul into
Eight-Legged Soup,<br />
But by now the octopus<br />
Had flown the coop,<br />
He found safety
in his sea-house,<br />
in fact he found<br />
more than safety,<br />
rumour has it<br />
he never missed an<br />
opportunity
to live it up,<br />
more on that
in<br />
another write-up.<br />
<br />
Some years later though<br />
Paul the Octopus passed away,<br />
His epitaph read,<br />
I was the first
football soothsayer,<br />
Others who’re goin to
follow<br />
won’t look
like me for sure,<br />
Nor will they be
As good as me,<br />
Hell, I should’ve been<br />
Given a Nobel!<br />
You Know… Upon Reflection<br />
I think I Should’ve
been<br />
a betting man,<br />
Everything…I mean everything<br />
that I forecast<br />
Checked out,<br />
Could've Made a Million!<br />
Damn!<br />
