Bubbles the Fish

BUBBLES THE FISH Life is sure hell; when you live in a house with Ginger the old cat That sits all day eyeing you up as wanting to eat you and all that Bubbles the fish decided a day in the town, would not go a miss So; with a water pack strapped to his back he didn’t miss a trick Bubbles waited until he heard Ginger the cat as started to snore Then sailed quite brazen passed Ginger the cat on the vinyl floor Bubbles who was rather quite clever on account he so had brains Hopped on one of the bairn’s left out battery-operated toy trains The crafty beggar; who was like no others, had in his pocket a list 3 bottles of vodka, a 2" pizza, and, a whole load, of cheesy crisps After he was done with his shopping it was back home on his train Whilst whipping passed the sleeping, snoring, Ginger the cat again Back in his tank Bubbles sat down, then got stuck in, to eat lunch Opening the bottles of vodka and the whole tank became a punch Ginger the cat woke up to a sight; that to him, more than amazed Bubbles skipping loops, a pizza in fin and eyes that were all glazed Ginger the cat thought he had lost his nuts so signed in as insane Bubbles relaxed; his home was his castle, for him, he still will reign The moral of this story is never underestimated the brains of a fish Who had no intentions of been a meal on that Ginger the cats' dish Indiana Shaw . . . : )

With no Ginger the cat around any more, ginger beer it is, but: he won't be giving up the pizza or cheesy crisps as he is quite partial to them . . . : )
