Lieutenant Goldfish

that is Lieutenant Goldfish he runs Steampunk City
I thought it was a lie, my cousin can be whimsically witty
L.G. as they call him swam by and did not give us a nod.
He’s aloof, disconnected, a loner, quite odd.

Why is he the leader of the city I asked my cousin.
Because the other fish are terrified of him by the dozen.
I thought that was a ridiculous way to vote in a leader today
Then I realized it’s the way of the crazies in the US of A.
