Goldfish Matters

Goldfish appear to prefer the color orange They have no arms to reach conclusions Live out their lives in water bowls or tanks Some college students swallow them as pranks Bad people with no manners Gold fish are not meant as snacks Children spill them on the carpet in accidents They are not guilty of killing their fishy friend And when stepped on by their little feet Well that was simply an experiment Fish die all the time Survival outside of water is not their style Fish can't escape at times like this Fins stop flapping. Fish comes to an end Gold fish are not inclined to go to war Or live on or off the floor The military rejects them They have deferments for their infirmities Fish are lacking hands and feet Goldfish don't walk on streets in evenings They have no need and have fear of beatings Preferring loitering in water to sidewalk journeys They take no interest in dentists either Goldfish have no teeth and don't eat sweets Swimming around in its own feces People are too lazy to change the bowl or feed it Making for something sad and bleak to see Inevitably flushed down the drain No one gives a pittance They all look exactly the same Goldfish can easily be replaced Just pick one up at the pet store And give it the name of the deceased
