Ode to our fish
O, wet pets,
never have we yet been so fortunate
to get companions such as you.
Unlike cats.
You do not scratch,
nor prey on small fowl,
nor at midnight yowl.
You may not purr,
nor warm my knees,
but it's for sure you know how to please.
You are quiet as the fog;
Not so for a dog.
He jumps and will drool,
and acts much the fool.
You may not fetch, nor happily greet me,
but it's not a stretch,
to say that you love me.
You are beauty in motion,
and freedom in form;
your life's but an ocean and mine
to death foresworn.
But never will I be alone,
long as you are in my home.
Anon.
I saw this and thought I'd share it with you all
