Life In An Aquarium

My life in an aquarium, so great, But fearsome, with unknown fate. Swimming against the fresh water, Flapping my gills for a breather, The air pump producing bubbles, Sending my body in jiggles, The actinic lights send a spectrum, Each time causing a spasm, And I move downward in fear, Hoping I might disappear, My life in an aquarium, so great, But fearsome, with unknown fate. Re-surfacing after a short while, Assured of a safe profile, Going back to my previous dance, The water brewing romance, Keeping my eyes wide open, Of course with great caution, I detect vibratory ripples, Must be time for something scrumptious, My life in an aquarium, so great, But fearsome, with unknown fate. Following my meal lead nobly, I come upon a worm on a spree, Hidden by the blue green algae, Yes it seems so beefy, Covetously I swallow my meal, Trying to elope with zeal, I notice my mouth is hooked, Sooner or later I might be cooked. My life in an aquarium, so great, But fearsome, with unknown fate.
