Two goldfish swimming round and round their bowl
Do they long for the lakes, rivers and seas?
Do they get on, or are they perhaps poles
Apart, two different personalities?
Would they like their own bowl one day, if fees
Are not too high, not too much interest due?
Or do they go with the flow, although these
Bowls don’t have flows, tides or that much to do?
Some people put pirate ships in there. Crew
On deck! Swim to attention! One just rolls
Upside down all day long; the fat one. He’s
Fed up, maybe, with his lot, trying to
End it all. The small one’s a happy soul.
Two goldfish, living out their lives of ease.
