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