Hi ! Goldfish

   ‘ How are you going on ? Hi, Goldfish !
     You are so shiny fins seem polished:
      Sparkling , glistening !
       Are you listening ?’

     ‘Yes ! I am hearing, but no energy to reply .
            You are providing ample food on supply.
              But I’m confined in aquarium 
               Limited space no freedom !
               Now I can’t swim free at random.
                Feeling frolic seldom !
                  Sensing continuous boredom.
              
                  You are cruel, heartless,
                  enjoying my beauty, peerless.
                    I am imprisoned by you,
                      spending days in rue.
     ,               A cheerful goldfish you have captured,
                      destroying my joy and rapture.
      
                   My sorrowful swimming you relish !
                   Always grief I’m to cherish,
                    Me the poor Goldfish.
                     I can’t sue,
                      but hate you.’
