Fish Heads

pink and purple polka dotted fish heads

sail the seven seas

swimming hi and swimming lo

looking for you and me

they come for us and do not stop

they want to make us jump and hop

Pink is Purple and Purple Pink

they really do not know the brink

hop and jump

skip and play

they always come

but never stay

Good day Ginger! I like this write, it feels light and flippant.:) Makes me think of Dr Seus..he could cure a sad heart, and bend a frown into a smile. Welcome to the Soup! If this were served in a fish bowl, I'd be tempted to have a second serving. Best to you!! Mikki

This has such a great flow. It has sad undertones but is really light and delightful to read. Fish Heads, hmmmm, Creative. Smiles from Lolita
