ABC - Letter "O"

The Rule of Oct
If you have eight points you are octactinal
and that is factual

If you are recurring every eight days you are octan
and of that I am a fan

If celebrating the eight hundredth anniversary it is an octingentenary
a time to truly make merry

If you have eight eyes you are octonocular
you must look quite peculiar

If running a government of eight you have an octarchy
quite different from a monarchy.

So, following the rule of eight set up by men
Why, oh Why is October the month of ten
