Fish With a Wish

Splish! Splash! Went the little goldfish. As she flipped, and she flopped, right out of her dish. Hiss-s-s-s! Hiss-s-s-s! across the room, came a threatening sound. And she wished, oh, she wished, she was back in her dish! The house cat pranced and swished his tail, as he played with his squeaky toy, and his playmate, little Dale. Then the cat paused. He sniffed the air. He leaped for joy. He smelled a live fish, and not a rubber toy! With a happy prance, on cat feet that danced, across the room, he quickly advanced. But the boy heard the wish! The wish! of his little gold fish. And he flipped, and he flopped her back in her dish. Lucky Fish! Lucky Fish! With a wish!

Thanks, Olive, for commenting on my poem. I'm glad you liked the images I used. And the little boy must have looked like a super hero to that otherwise doomed fish. Hugs, Darlene
