The fact that Cthulhu looks like he is waving with a tentacle is hilarious.

/ma'dʱuˑɾɛɖ 'ɭuːrː/ ! Madhuu-red-luuurr! Lulėlulėlulėlulė /'lűlé̝'lűlé̝'lűlé̝'lűlé̝/...
What? That was just my instinctive reaction to the image of Cthulhu with outspread wings.
If I had to hazard a guess, I'd think "Madhuu-red-luuurr" may be some epithet of Cthulhu or an Old God in general. That or a random series of phonemes. There doesn't seem to be much difference. As for the "lulelule" stuff, that'd be some kind of ululation.

Too bad you could not work calcitrate into this verse, but I'm not sure many would understand what it meant.

To laugh loudly and often inappropriately.
