391 - My daughter's goldfish died, so mummy said

My daughter’s goldfish died, so mummy said
An angel came and took it up to heaven;
That’s where it had magically disappeared.
(If only we had cleaned its bowl more often!)
When I was young, like most kids, I was driven
To own a pet fish, but they usually died
Before too long. I remember being given
My fish in a bag by a fairground ride.
When I was only a toddler, they tried
To house train a puppy, but they got fed
Up with its constant pooing; then tried living
With cats, and that was that: all satisfied,
Although my runny nose indicated
A feline allergy. They’re now forbidden.
