Pet Fish

Suspicious fishy activity

Pet Fish

Fish Pet

My pet fish walks too slow

In fact it does not walk at all

It does not walk on water or walls

It will not skydive or mountain climb

I suspect it of criminal malfeasance

Fishy activity like swimming is suspicious

Open and shut gills prove the point

Fish have no hands or feet

So guilty as charged

Is fishing a misdemeanor?

Are fish involved in water sports?

They don't drink beer or smoke

They hide in oceans

Fish lips make kissing noises

Pretending to tell you secrets

Have they forgotten English?

Why are goldfish orange?

Why not yellow or gold?

(Hence the name)

Is there something I'm missing?

Is something wrong with fishing?

Fish never look you in the eyes

Theirs are situated oddly on the sides

Heads bobbing left to right

Do goldfish cry?

One lap around the bowl and they forget

Your name and there's a distant memory

What kind of friend is that?

I can't pet my fish for many reasons

One of them being it is already pet

There are rules lest you forget

Why do goldfish die?

I feed them all my M&Ms

They melt in the mouth

Not in the water

If they are such good friends

Why do we flush them down the toilet?

Quite a 'tail', on a 'scale' from 1-10 it is a wacky piece but creative and it stimulates thought thus I 'pond'er and 'reflect' upon it as I draw to the 'fin'ish!

Hi John, Thanks for your comments. True. There is something silly and fishy and it is time to fin-ish this tail. Have a great day. Earl

hard time keeping your fish alive there Earl??? ;) forget about goldfish my friend ... all those other fish are most assuredly up to no good .. very fishy indeed .. the only recourse brave men have is to get out there, drink beer and fish the hell out of those water holes :))))))))))))))))))))))

Hi E. Yes. You never know what they have on their tiny little minds. My dad and I caught so many sea bass one day out on the ocean that our small boat almost sank. The horrific storm that came up from out of nowhere didn't help matters much either. Ah!... The good old days. Earl
